Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Réserve is an emblematic champagne that faithfully reflects the Nicolas Feuillatte style. It combines different terroirs of Champagne (Premiers and Grands Crus). Balanced and expressive, it fuses freshness and intensity, embodying the spirit of the most versatile, refreshing and always appetising champagne.
Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Réserve Nace from a perfectly balanced blend of the three great Champagne varieties: 20% Chardonnay contributing elegance and finesse, 40% Pinot Noir giving roundness and structure, and 40% Pinot Meunier, responsible for its fruity character.
In the glass it presents as a champagne vibrant and fresh, with a clear fruity expression. Its extended ageing in house cellars, for three to four years, reinforces its complexity and gives it greater consistency. It exhibits notes of juicy pear and fresh apricot, entwined with a fine bubble. A champagne supported by international recognitions, such as Gold Medal at Mundus Vini 2024 and Silver Medal at the International Wine & Spirit Competition 2022.
The house Nicolas Feuillatte, founded in 1976, is distinguished by the richness of its mosaic of soils and the diversity of its vineyards, carefully selected among Premiers and Grands Crus. Its savoir-faire in the art of blending gives rise to champagnes that stand out for their balance, freshness and refinement, accurately reflecting the unique character of this iconic region.

Winemaking
The chosen approach by the head winemaker is to adjust the dosage of the liqueur d'expédition in each cuvée to enhance flavours and aromas. The choice of reserve wine is paramount. It is made depending on the crus, the harvest years, the grape varieties, and the winemaking and ageing regime, to ensure a unique style in each wine.
Aging
Aging in cellars for 3-4 years.

Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte is the youngest of the great Champagne houses and brings together more than 5,000 winegrowers spread throughout the appellation. Its story begins with the meeting of two extraordinary men: Henri Macquart, a pioneer of the cooperative movement in Champagne, and Nicolas Feuillatte, a bold entrepreneur.
It all started in the early 1970s. After the exceptional 1970 harvest, the Champagne region faced significant storage problems due to the surplus of grapes produced. Henri Macquart understood that the time had come to seek joint solutions, and he brought together numerous cooperatives and producers in the region to create a structure capable of ensuring the marketing of their grapes. The Champagne Wine Center (Centre Vinicole de la Champagne) was born in 1972 from this vision, located in the heart of the prestigious Côte des Blancs.
Meanwhile, another figure was beginning to write his own story in the world of Champagne: Nicolas Feuillatte, born in Paris in 1926 into a family of prominent wine and spirits importers. After World War II, he decided to move to the United States, where he developed a successful business career. At the age of forty, he acquired vineyards in Champagne and began to take an interest in the production of sparkling wines. In 1976, he decided to create a Champagne initially intended for his circle of friends in the United States. What began as a personal project quickly became a commercial success. Its elegant style captivated a select clientele that included such prominent figures as the Kennedys and Aristotle Onassis.
The brand's growing prestige caught the attention of Centre Vinicole. In 1986, the meeting that would shape the future of both organizations took place: Nicolas Feuillatte sold his brand to the Champagne Wine Center, giving rise to Centre Vinicole – Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte. The union between Feuillatte's commercial and cosmopolitan vision and the cooperative strength fostered by Henri Macquart allowed for the creation of a unique structure in Champagne. This gave rise to what is now considered the leading Champagne brand produced by winegrowers and one of the most important benchmarks in the entire appellation.
Since then, the company's growth has been enormous, reaching ten million bottles sold in 2014. The Maison's evolution took another step forward in 2017 with the inauguration of its modern facilities and visitor center.
