✨ Technical Specifications
The Nicolas Feuillatte Grande Réserve Brut is a signature non-vintage Champagne that embodies the cooperative spirit and vast terroir diversity of the region. Founded in 1976 by the visionary jet-setter and businessman Nicolas Feuillatte, the house quickly rose to global prominence. This cuvée is crafted from a harmonious blend of Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay sourced from across the Champagne appellation. It undergoes a minimum of three years of cellar aging on its lees, far exceeding the legal requirement, which imparts a delicate complexity, fine bubbles, and a creamy texture to its vibrant fresh pear, apple, and subtle brioche notes.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1976 by entrepreneur Nicolas Feuillatte and subsequent union with Henri Macquart’s Centre Vinicole de la Champagne, Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte has become the largest union of winegrowers in the appellation and the leading brand across France. Headquartered in Chouilly on the edge of the Côte des Blancs, the collective draws from over 2,100 hectares across the Marne Valley, Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Côte des Bar, encompassing more than 80 cooperatives, 11 Grands Crus, and 26 Premiers Crus. Terroirs vary from Belemnite chalk in the central hillsides to sedimentary limestone, marl, and Kimmeridgian clay in the southern reaches. Under the stewardship of Chief Winemaker Guillaume Roffiaen, the cooperative actively champions Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne (VDC) and Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE). Winemaking emphasizes precision, purity of fruit, and vibrant freshness achieved via temperature-controlled stainless steel vinification and meticulous parcel blending, punctuated by benchmarks such as the benchmark Réserve Exclusive Brut and the vintage prestige cuvée Palmes d'Or.
