Champagne, Côte des Blancs, France

Winemaker’s Notes:
Nicolas Feuillatte Cuvée Gastronomie Réserve Exclusive Brut; Nicolas Feuillatte differs from other well known Champagne brand in that it is not owned by a house, but by a co-operative. Champagne co-operatives are a growing force in the industry and Nicolas Feuillatte is the world leader in their category.
Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte’s trademark style is stunningly vibrant, fresh, and
elegant, with a joyful, fruit-forward verve and serious length — a truly distinctive
profile for Champagne that’s made it a go-to favorite of consumers in France and
here in the United States. Light, fresh, and vibrant. Intense, expressive fruit notes of
juicy pear and crunchy apricot fruit are woven together in a beguiling fusion that
revolves around a mass of delicate, persistent bubbles. The extensive cellar aging
adds a gentle, rounded smoothness to the lingering finish.
Tasting Notes:
On the eye: Pale yellow in color with turquoise tinges, and a ribbon of fine and delicate bubbles. A fine mousse forms a harmonious sweeping string of bubbles.
On the nose: Intense floral and white fruit aromas, developing notes of honeysuckle, pear and sweet citrus fruits.
On the palate: Delicate on the palate, characterized by finesse and elegance. Impressive aromatic breadth, creamy texture, appealing freshness, a fruit extravaganza.

Critical Acclaim:
“Anise, lime blossom and graphite aromas are subtle accents wafting through the white cherry, honeydew melon, lemon zest and salted almond flavors carried on the creamy mousse of this bright, balanced Champagne. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier. Drink now..” 92 pts – Wine Spectator
