Why this wine
All Pinot Noir from Grand Cru villages in the Montagne de Reims, which is where the grape carries the most weight and structure in Champagne. Six years in the cellars turns the red berry fruit savoury — tea leaf, brambles, cedar bark. A Champagne to drink through a meal rather than before one.

How it tastes
Bronze-tinged straw in the glass, with redcurrant, cranberry and raspberry opening into lemon verbena and Darjeeling tea, then hawthorn, brambles and cedar bark as the wine gains body. Dry and medium-bodied, with mineral freshness from the first taste and an intense, saline finish. Pinot Noir.
The producer
Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte is a cooperative uniting more than 5,000 growers across the region, which gives the blending team an unusually wide mosaic of Crus to work with. This Blanc de Noirs is made exclusively from Pinot Noir selected from Grand Cru villages in the Montagne de Reims: the gentle slopes of Verzy and Verzenay supply balance and freshness, while the chalky soils on the southern slopes of Bouzy give delicate spice, body and minerality. Vinification takes place in small, temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, after which the wine spends at least six years in the cellars, with chief winemaker Guillaume Roffian adapting dosage cuvée by cuvée. 2015 was the third hottest vintage since 1961 — drought ran from mid-May to mid-August, then two weeks of heavy rain and a sharp drop in temperature from 15 August let the grapes finish ripening steadily and arrive in pristine health.
Food and drinking
Serve at 9–11°C. Roast guinea fowl, duck breast, grilled veal chop, or a mature Comté — a Champagne built for the table rather than the aperitif. Drinking well now and will hold for five to ten years; no decanting needed.
