The 2015 vintage in Champagne is remembered for a particularly hot and sunny summer, which favored a balanced ripening of the Pinot Noir grapes.

How to Best Open and Serve Champagne Brut Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Millésimé 2015 - Nicolas Feuillatte (case)
1. Bottle Positioning
To get the most out of your Champagne Brut Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Millésimé 2015 - Nicolas Feuillatte (case), position the bottle upright for at least 24 hours before opening. This allows sediments, which are natural in vintage wines, to settle at the bottom, ensuring a clearer and more pleasant pour.
2. Ideal Serving Temperature
Temperature is crucial for fully appreciating a mature Grand Cru Champagne. Chill the bottle to 10–12°C by immersing it for about 20 minutes in an ice bucket with water and ice, or leave it in the refrigerator for 3 hours. Avoid excessively low temperatures, which compress the aromatic bouquet and detract from the finesse of the bubbles.
3. Opening the Bottle
Follow these steps carefully:
- Remove the foil and loosen the wire cage, always keeping your thumb over the cork.
- Hold the bottle at approximately a 45° angle, firmly grasping the cork with one hand and the base of the bottle with the other.
- Rotate the bottle (not the cork) slowly: let the internal pressure gently push out the cork, avoiding a "pop."
A controlled opening preserves the elegance of the bubbles and the integrity of the aromatic bouquet.
4. Inspection and First Taste
After opening, pour a small amount into the glass to check:
- the liveliness of the bubbles;
- the clear and bright appearance;
- the potential presence of defective olfactory notes (cork taint, oxidation, reduction).
If all is in order, your Champagne is ready to be served or, if necessary, decanted.
5. Decanting and Oxygenation
An unusual topic for Champagne, but for a vintage like Champagne Brut Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Millésimé 2015 - Nicolas Feuillatte (case), a light oxygenation can be useful to release complex aromas of dried fruit and toasted notes.
- Slowly pour the Champagne into a wide-necked decanter or into large "Bourgogne" style glasses.
- Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before tasting.
This brief decantation will help the wine open up, offering a more harmonious structure on the palate.
6. Serving
Use large flutes or crystal tulip glasses to enhance the effervescence and aromatic bouquet. Pour slowly along the glass, avoiding dispersing the bubbles. Serve portions of approximately 8–10 cl to allow for proper oxygenation in the glass. Pair with seafood, white meats, or aged cheeses for a perfect match.
7. Storage After Opening
If not entirely consumed, store your Champagne Brut Blanc de Noirs Grand Cru Millésimé 2015 - Nicolas Feuillatte (case) in the refrigerator, sealing the cork with a sparkling wine stopper. This way, it will retain its vivacity for 24–48 hours. Avoid leaving it at room temperature: heat would dissipate the effervescence and alter the most refined aromas.
