Stephen Tanzer's IWC, November 2001

Dark pink with a strong bead. Smoky cherry and dark berry aromas are underscored by musky herbs and dried flowers. A serious version of pink Champagne, offering meaty red berry flavors and chewy texture. Finishes long and quite floral. I'd serve this with a rich poultry dish, or with cheeses.

About Winery

"Nicolas Feuillatte is the brand name used by the Centre Vinicole de la Champagne, the largest growers' cooperative in the region, and from which the grapes of some 4500 individual growers comprise 7% of the total acreage there. The best selections are used for the Feuillatte label, currently ranked among the top five Champagne houses by sales. With all the history that surrounds many houses, this co-op and its brand are relative newcomers to the game. Created in 1971, they purchased the Feuillatte label from its namesake proprietor in 1986, some 17 years later.

Feuillatte produces a wide range of styles-from its bestselling "Brut Reserve", a non-vintage cuvée, to the "Palmes d'Or" and its iconic dimpled bottle. Having worked at the Centre Viticole since 1976, Feuillatte's chef-de-cave Jean-Pierre Vincentis places an increasing emphasis on smaller production bottlings that push the stylistic envelope. Among the new wine styles he has introduced is the "Brut Extrem'", a zero-dosage cuvée, along with a barrel fermented blend of equal portions of chardonnay and pinot noir labeled "Cuvée 225".

The style of Feuillatte is one of balance and precision. Each of the cuvées I tried had a beautiful expression of fruit, and were neither overwrought nor extreme. At the same time, there was no sense of dilution or excessive restraint across their portfolio. The wines were of medium to medium-full weight with the fruit component the most apparent quality. The freshness and concentration in the NV "Brut Reserve" caught my attention along with the delicacy of the Blanc de Blancs. Nicolas Feuillatte has always had a reputation as one of the best cooperatives in the wine world, and the new releases serve to seal that reputation." -Chuck Hayward, November 2010
