Collection Vintage 2010 Brut

The Collection Vintage 2010 Brut from Nicolas Feuillatte is a vintage champagne made from equal parts Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. Seven years of ageing in the cellar have given it freshness and plenty of fruit without losing any tension. On the nose, citrus fruit meets apricot, while the palate shows yellow fruit and raspberry. The texture is firm and well structured, the overall impression generous and sunny.

Thanks to this combination of fruit and structure, it can stand up to spiced dishes too. The house recommends a simple rice curry with dried fruit, which is easy to understand: the sweetness of the fruit picks up the yellow fruit of the champagne. Poultry with a mild curry or a mature hard cheese also work well. Serve it at 10 to 12°C so the aromas can open up, and choose a wide white wine glass rather than a narrow flute.
