Brut Réserve

The Brut Réserve is the classic brut from Nicolas Feuillatte, a house closely tied to a cooperative of Champagne growers. Its cuvée is built from wines of many villages and several grape varieties, and it is exactly this diversity that shapes the style: a fine, elegant champagne without heaviness. It ages in the cellar for at least three years, well beyond the legal minimum of 15 months. It has won gold at the Vinalies Internationales, silver at the International Wine Challenge and silver with 90/100 points at the Decanter World Wine Awards.

In the glass it is pale yellow with silver glints and a persistent stream of fine bubbles. The opening is clean, the palate elegant and layered, and the delicate mousse brings freshness to the finish. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass, as an aperitif or with light starters and fish. This bottle is a Jéroboam, a large format holding 3 litres, and it arrives in a wooden shipping case. That makes it a gift in its own right and the champagne for larger tables.
