At the crossroads of elegance and precision, the Champagne AOC Grand Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs Nicolas Feuillatte 2015 exalts the crystalline grace of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. A sunny vintage, 2015 produced grapes of complete maturity, refined by timely storms in mid-August. Long aged on lees, for at least 6 years, this Grand Cru reveals effervescence of remarkable delicacy and an aromatic architecture that combines freshness, depth and purity. Its pale golden hue with green highlights invites contemplation, its bouquet of citrus and white flowers evokes a garden at dawn, and its palate, slender and vibrant, leaves the memory of rare elegance. A cuvée for aesthetes, designed to elevate the moment, from an intimate tête-à-tête to gastronomic gatherings where balanced taste and subtle conversation are celebrated.

Assemblage et vinification

This Blanc de Blancs is made exclusively from Chardonnay Grand Cru from the Côte des Blancs, harvested in 2015. The house of Nicolas Feuillatte applies precise know-how, favouring fruit purity and the expression of great chalky terroirs. The cuvée benefits from at least 6 years' ageing on lees, a key factor in its finely textured mousse and achieved aromatic complexity. The Brut style emphasises the mineral tension and the grape's intrinsic freshness, while the harmony of the whole rests on perfectly controlled ripeness. Without ostentation, the vinification seeks balance, straightness and luminosity, for a clear reading of Chardonnay between verticality and caress, intensity and clarity.

Notes de dégustation

• Robe : Platinum-gold with green reflections, crossed by a fine, regular perlage, sign of long ageing and a silky effervescence.
• Nez : A refined palette of fresh citrus, white flowers, lemon balm and a hint of soft spices, before pastry reminiscences of crème anglaise, vanilla and raisin bread.
• Bouche : Fresh, upright attack, a vibrant and elegant lemony thread, lifted by notes of licorice, juniper berries and star anise, on a floral hawthorn background. The mentholated, thirst-quenching finish stretches out with nobility.

Température de service et conseils

Serve this Grand Cru between 8 and 10°C in tulip glasses to highlight the finesse of its effervescence and the precision of its bouquet. Open the bottle a few minutes before serving to let the aromas unfold calmly. Store in a cellar, in a quiet place, at a stable temperature and away from light. Its ageing potential is high, allowing texture and aromatic nuances to gain depth over the years without losing the crystalline freshness that defines its identity.
