Description
What kind of wine is it
Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte Rosé Réserve Exclusive Brut is a sparkling wine with a brilliant salmon pink hue and silvery highlights. Crafted using the Traditional Method, it offers a harmonious and fine perlage. On the nose, it reveals a bouquet of crisp red fruits, with prominent notes of redcurrant and raspberry, complemented by subtle citrus hints. On the palate, it shines for its perfect balance between fruit and freshness, with a lively entry that evolves into a pleasant softness. It finishes with a persistent aftertaste, expressing a precise and satisfying aromatic profile.
Where does it come from
It originates in France, in the prestigious Champagne region, with a deep connection to the Chouilly area in the Côte des Blancs. The blend combines Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grapes, varieties that convey the authentic identity of the soil into the glass. This Champagne thus reflects the excellence of the area, offering a distinctive character and consistent quality. Respect for its place of origin translates into natural elegance, fully enhancing the authentic expression of the terroir and its freshness.
How is it produced
The winemaking process follows the principles of the Traditional Method, blending selected crus and a portion of red wine to provide colour and structure. The secondary fermentation in the bottle involves three years of ageing on the lees in the cellars of Nicolas Feuillatte. This extended period is essential to refine the texture and create extremely fine bubbles. Finally, the choice of a Brut dosage balances the acidity, ensuring a fragrant, clean and elegantly dry sip, with no concession to excess sugar.
History and Curiosities
Produced in Chouilly, in the heart of Champagne, this Champagne Rosé Brut by Nicolas Feuillatte is the perfect expression of the traditional method. The precious cuvée, enriched with a touch of red wine, matures for at least three years in the cellar on the lees, ensuring a distinctive style capable of standing the test of time. Awarded 92 points by Wine Spectator, this refined sparkling wine releases vibrant aromas of red fruits, offering seductive elegance to every toast.
