2005 Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne Brut Blanc De Blancs

Subtle glints of lime-blossom green, with delicate, abundant bubbles. The wine offers aromas ofwhiteflowers, such as
hawthorn and acacia, as well as more subtle scents of citrus fruits, pears and even limeblossom. Very generous on the palate. Lively, fresh and powerful on the attack.

Wine Enthusiast (90/100)
This Blanc de Blancs is crisp, and minerally with a textured, chalky character. Despite hints of maturity, it still tastes youthful, fruity and fresh. Dry and elegantly structured, it finishes with a hint of toast.

Nicolas Feuillatte created Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte in 1976 as an exclusive Reserve Champagne that today remains the guardian of Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte’s quality and style. In 1986, Nicolas Feuillatte created a partnership with the Centre Vinicole de la Champagne, the largest association of growers in Champagne, situated in the heart of the vineyards, near the small Grand Cru village of Chouilly on the outskirts of Epernay.

Nicolas Feuillatte Champagnes are the exclusive issue of Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards and all cuvees are distinguished by the rich full expression of Champagne’s unique terroirs.

Associated with luxury, celebration, and romance, the region, Champagne, is home to the world’s most prized sparkling wine. In order to bear the label, Champagne, a sparkling wine must originate from this northeastern region of France called Champagne and adhere to strict quality standards. Made up of the three towns Reims, ?pernay, and A?, it was here that the traditional method of sparkling wine production was both invented and perfected, birthing a winemaking technique as well as a flavor profile that is now emulated worldwide.

With nearly negligible exceptions, . These can be blended together or bottled as individual varietal Champagnes, depending on the final style of wine desired. Chardonnay, the only white variety, contributes freshness, elegance, lively acidity and notes of citrus, orchard fruit and white flowers. Pinot Noir and its relative Pinot Meunier, provide the backbone to many blends, adding structure, body and supple red fruit flavors. Wines with a large proportion of Pinot Meunier will be ready to drink earlier, while Pinot Noir contributes to longevity. Whether it is white or ros?, most Champagne is made from a blend of red and white grapes and uniquely, rose is often produce by blending together red and white wine. A Champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay will be labeled as blanc de blancs, while ones comprised of only red grapes are called blanc de noirs.
