Terroir Premier Cru

The Terroir Premier Cru from Nicolas Feuillatte is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier in equal parts. The grapes come from the Côte des Blancs, the Coteaux d'Épernay and both the northern and southern parts of the Montagne de Reims. It ages for at least three years in the cellar before it goes into the bottle.

On the nose you find honey and citrus. The palate starts mineral and nervy, then comes power, and finally finesse. A salty note lingers on the finish and invites the next sip. That makes it versatile: as an aperitif just as much as with food, for instance with veal blanquette, a seafood platter or mature Comté. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass with a little volume, and fruit and minerality show equally well.
