What kind of wine is Champagne Brut Millésime 2015 - Nicolas Feuillatte (boxed)
The Champagne Brut Millésime 2015 - Nicolas Feuillatte is the authentic expression of a great vintage from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. Produced by the renowned Maison Nicolas Feuillatte, one of Champagne's most representative names, this Millésimé embodies the house philosophy: combining tradition and modernity, elegance and accessibility. Made with the Champenoise method (also known as the classic method), this Champagne evolves in the bottle thanks to a natural second fermentation that creates its unmistakable fine and persistent bubbles, a sign of quality and artisanal care.Vintage Details
The 2015 vintage is considered one of the most balanced of the decade in Champagne. The season was characterized by a warm and sunny summer, followed by cool nights before the September harvest. These conditions allowed for perfectly ripe and concentrated grapes, with excellent natural acidity that gives tension and freshness to the sip. The result is a harmonious and complex vintage Champagne, capable of intensely expressing the personality of the terroir.Winemaking and Aging
The Champagne Brut Millésime 2015 - Nicolas Feuillatte (boxed) is made from a balanced blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, sourced from selected vineyards cultivated with respect for the environment. After the first fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel, a small quantity of reserve wines is added to perfect the structure and aromatic depth. Aging on lees lasts for at least 9 years, a long period that imparts complexity, creaminess, and extraordinary finesse to the perlage. The dosage is Brut in style, meaning dry, ideal for maintaining balance and elegance on the palate.Tasting Notes

How to Open and Best Serve Champagne Brut Millésime 2015 - Nicolas Feuillatte (case)
1. Bottle Positioning
Before opening the Champagne Brut Millésime 2015 - Nicolas Feuillatte (case), position the bottle upright for at least 30 minutes. This allows any sediment to settle at the bottom, ensuring a clearer pour. Avoid sudden movements and keep it away from heat sources or direct light.
2. Ideal Serving Temperature
The optimal serving temperature for this vintage Champagne is between 8°C and 10°C. You can achieve this by leaving the bottle in the refrigerator for about 3 hours or in a bucket with ice and water for 30 minutes. A temperature that is too low would limit its aromas, while one that is too high would reduce its freshness.
3. Opening the Bottle
To properly open the Champagne Brut Millésime 2015 - Nicolas Feuillatte (case):
- Carefully remove the foil capsule and loosen the wire cage, always keeping your thumb on the cork for safety.
- Tilt the bottle slightly to 45° and slowly rotate it at the base, holding the cork firmly.
- Allow the cork to come out with a gentle sigh, not a loud pop. This preserves the finesse of the bubbles.
4. Inspection and First Taste
Immediately after opening, observe the perlage: it should be fine and continuous. Pour a small amount into the glass and smell its bouquet. You should perceive notes of citrus, dried fruit, and light pastry hints. Taste slowly to evaluate the freshness and aromatic complexity.
5. Decanting and Oxygenation
Although decanting is not common for Champagne, this 2015 vintage can benefit from slight oxygenation. We recommend:
- Pouring a small amount into a wide glass and letting it rest for 5-10 minutes to help the aromas open up.
- If you wish to enhance the evolving component, you can use a carafe à Champagne, designed to aerate without dispersing the effervescence.
6. Serving
Serve the Champagne Brut Millésime 2015 - Nicolas Feuillatte (case) in tulip or flute glasses, ideal for concentrating the aromas and enhancing the finesse of the perlage. Fill them about two-thirds full, keeping the bottle tilted to preserve the delicacy of the bubbles. It is a perfect wine to accompany refined dishes such as seafood, crustaceans, or aged cheeses.
7. Storage After Opening
If you do not consume the entire bottle, re-seal it with a specific Champagne stopper and store it in the refrigerator. Under these conditions, it will remain at its best for 24-48 hours. Avoid leaving it at room temperature to avoid compromising the freshness of the perlage and the aromatic complexity of the Champagne Brut Millésime 2015 - Nicolas Feuillatte (case).
