The House of Nicolas Feuillatte has 82 growers from which it draws the grapes for its various cuvées. A “Best Buy,” this Brut Reserve is cellar aged for at least 3 years, even though the legal minimum requirement is 15 months. Aromas of apple, pear and white peach intermingle with turmeric and curry, giving this Champagne the perfect “Wow!” factor!
This Brut Reserve is 20% Chardonnay (for elegance and delicacy), 40% Pinot Noir (roundness and structure), and 40% Pinot Meunier (bringing fruitiness). Pale gold in color, abundance of delicate bubbles. Floral aromas of fruit with subtle predominance of white fruits: pear, apple, almonds and hazelnuts. Fresh opening, smooth, pleasant and balanced. This wine is an ideal accompaniment for Breton lobster and cream sauce, sole morel mushrooms, chicken brochettes with citronella... but it's an equally pleasant accompaniment to conversations among friends!
Wine Spectator: 91 Points “An aperitif-style Champagne, with flavors of crème de cassis, lemon curd and pastry riding a creamy mousse and framed by crisp, well-knit acidity. Drink now through 2020.”
James Suckling: 91 Points “Cooked peaches with apples and hints of spices follow through to a full body with rich fruit, yet a very creamy texture and a flavorful finish. Fun amount of spiced pears with apples here. Light bitterness at the finish. Drink now.”
