Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte - Grand Cru Millésime 2010 Blanc de Blancs

Guide VERON des Champagnes 2019

(around 39 euros per bottle)

Elegant and sober bottle.

Aspect:

Gold, coupled with emerald glints.

Delicate effervescence.

Reserved bead of bubbles.

Nose:

Joyful aromatic complexity, source of rare emotions.

The radiant Chardonnay, exclusive varietal of the cuvée, illustrates its full worth, reserved, with outstanding fragrances of vine peach, apple, pear and candied citrus fruits, subtly iodized.

Later, generous scents of marzipan and honey, barely roasted, reveal the well-defined maturity of the champagne obtained by 7 years of ageing on laths of the bottles, before riddling and disgorgement.

Palate:

Brilliant vitality at the opening, highlighted by a delicious bitterness and the chalky minerality.

We find again the citrus fruits already perceived at the nose, supported by a warm and captivating caress, reinforced by the 6 g/L of sugar added during the dosage.

Deep and harmonious finish.

Impressive length on the palate.

For this Grand Cru Millésime 2010 Blanc de Blancs, Guillaume Roffiaen, cellar master of the Champagne house Nicolas Feuillatte, was able to accompany with sensitivity the osmosis between the Grands Crus, mainly chosen in the Côte des Blancs but also in the Mountain of Reims, to sign a radiant interpretation of the year 2010 with a harsh climate.

Ideal as an aperitif or during a meal, with a declination of trouts and citrus fruits, for example.

Now the largest brand of champagnes from wine growers, first brand in France and third worldwide, the Champagne house Nicolas Feuillatte, union of 4,500 passionate wine growers, establishes with dynamism its vision of luxury to perpetuate the boldness of its founders. Guillaume Roffiaen, visionary cellar master, vinifies with accuracy grapes from the infinite palette of Crus (11 of the 17 Grands Crus and 26 of the 42 Premiers Crus), and from the vineyard of over 2,100 hectares, to compose with talent a range of refined champagnes.
