Nicolas Feuillatte Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs

Description

The year 2015 was the third hottest vintage since 1961. April was particularly unusual, with dramatic shifts between cool nights and warm days. Drought conditions began in mid-May and lasted until mid-August, during which the Champagne region experienced unprecedented temperatures for three consecutive months, raising concerns about grape development. Fortunately, abundant rainfall arrived in mid-August and lasted for two weeks, accompanied by a significant drop in temperatures, which helped reduce the risk of disease. In the end, the grapes ripened evenly, and the harvest could begin as planned. The harvested grapes were in excellent condition. This Blanc de Blancs Champagne is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes selected from Grand Cru villages in the Côte des Blancs region. The high-quality, chalky soils of the Côte des Blancs lend this wine its elegant character and refined minerality. The wine is intense and multi-layered, with balance and complexity that promise excellent aging potential.
