Dry and medium-bodied, with mineral freshness from the first taste and an intense, saline finish. Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChampagne 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58476248203647,"sku":"HNW-6172415A","price":50.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4192\/4998\/files\/6172415A.jpg?v=1789920164","url":"https:\/\/www.edkawines.com\/products\/2015-grand-cru-blanc-de-noir-champagne-nicolas-feuillatte","provider":"Edka Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
