2015, Grand Cru Blanc de Noir, Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte,

Appealing aromas of redcurrant, cranberry and raspberry reveal notes of hawthorn, brambles and cedar bark, intense and saline on the finish.

About the Winery: Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte is a leading cooperative uniting over 5,000 growers across the Champagne region. Founded on freedom and ambition, their incredible success story has been indelibly stamped with a successful and simple philosophy: to create a Champagne for everyone. The youngest of the major Champagne Houses, this dynamic venture was created in 1972, when Henri Macquart, the first CEO of Centre Vinicole de la Champagne and Nicolas Feuillatte, an ambitious entrepreneur and founder of the eponymous Champagne House, crossed paths and set the venture on the path to success. They carefully source fruit from a remarkable array of Crus, across a mosaic of different terroirs, which are enhanced by the subtle art of blending. The grapes are vinified by Cru, by area and by grape variety, together with a meticulous selection of Grands Crus and Premiers Cru, which results in wonderfully nuanced Champagnes, which reflect the harmony, finesse and freshness of this unique region.

Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir – carefully selected from Grand Cru villages in the Montagne de Reims, offering character from the soils, balance and freshness from the gentle slopes of Verzy and Verzenay, and delicate spices, body and minerality from the chalky soils on the southern slopes of Bouzy.

Pinot Noir: A cornerstone grape of Champagne, bringing structure, red-berry intensity and subtle spice. From the chalk and limestone of Verzy, Verzenay and Bouzy, it delivers precision, fine phenolic grip, and a distinctive saline, mineral finish, while its natural vinosity underpins the wine’s ageing potential and gastronomic versatility.
