Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Reserve 750ml
An iconic Champagne which perfectly encapsulates the Nicolas Feuillatte house style. Rich and creamy, showing the dried fruit, nut and spice notes of fruitcake, with lemon meringue, quince and honey flavors. Clean citrusy acidity integrates beautifully and provides an elegance to this refined Champagne. The Brut Réserve is a delicate Champagne that draws its elegance and exuberance from 150 cru villages and different varietals that make up the blend.
Drawing its complexity from five years of reserve wines for each grape variety, aromas of juicy pear and crunchy apricot merge and weave in a beguiling fusion mid a mass of delicate bubbles. Extensive cellar ageing brings appealing maturity. Simple in its complexity, refreshing and impulsive, it is fabulously versatile with wildly contrasting flavors, encapsulating true Champagne spirit to perfection.
Professional Review
Wine Spectator: 92 PointsAn elegant Champagne, linear and well-meshed, with creamy plushness to the nevertheless lively mix of ripe cherry, apricot, toast point and lemon tart flavors. Clean-cut, spiced finish. Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay.
Tasting Panel: 92 PointsLight golden color and aromas of fresh pear. A charming wine with moderate but firm bubbles and expressive pear and apricot notes. Crisp, tangy, and lively; balanced, juicy, and long.
James Suckling: 91 PointsBaked peaches, tart tatin, apricot pie and honey. Lemons, too. Medium-bodied with a creamy mousse and vibrant acidity. Pretty pastry notes to close. Drink now.
