This is a silky, golden champagne, with a delicate bead offering subtle and vivid aromas. There is a clear and lively, mineral dimension on the nose which then opens up with fresh citrus and wet-stone aromas. There is a change of tempo on the mid-palate, offering delicate notes of white flowers and lemon balm. Further definition brings subtly spiced flavours of clove which culminates in a long, light finish, accentuated by chalky minerality and a hyper clean acidity. What a lip-smacker.

Technical details: 100% Chardonnay from all Grand Cru vineyards, Chouilly, Cramant, Avize, Oger & Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger. Aged 9 years on lees

Club Price $128.25 (?) ?

Embedded in its region and uniting a whopping 4,500 wine growers, Nicolas Feuillatte is the largest wine-growers’ (vignerons) Champagne brand. The Brut NV is the number one selling brand in France and has been for the last three years. The brand is the third largest globally.

At 40 years of age the Nicolas Feuillatte brand is also the youngest of the great Champagne houses. This youth allows the house to put forward a new vision of luxury: they believe that luxury is not about social status, but about elegance and attitude, emotion and pleasure, the appreciation of the good and the beautiful.
