✨ Technical Specifications
The story of Nicolas Feuillatte is one of modern vision and collective passion. Founded in the 1970s by its namesake—a daring businessman who charmed the international jet set—and Henri Macquart, the house represents a massive cooperative of thousands of passionate growers across the Champagne appellation. The Grande Réserve Rosé is a vibrant testament to this collective terroir. Crafted primarily from Pinot Noir for structure and red fruit intensity, Meunier for roundness, and Chardonnay for elegance, this cuvée achieves its delicate salmon-pink hue through the traditional addition of still red Champagne wine. Aged in the chalk cellars for several years, it develops a refined effervescence and a complex bouquet of fresh raspberries, strawberries, and subtle spice, echoing the diverse soils of the Marne Valley, Côte des Blancs, and Montagne de Reims.
🍾 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.
