Wine Spectator:  Rated as Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style. "Rich and creamy, showing the dried fruit, nut and spice notes of fruitcake, with lemon meringue, quince and honey flavors. Clean citrusy acidity integrates beautifully and provides an elegance to this refined Champagne. Drink now through 2020." Dec 2011

Winery:  "Appearance: Pale yellow in colour with silver tinges, crystal clear and brilliant with a well-balanced ribbon of delicate bubbles. Nose: Initially subtle on the nose, fresh, white fruit flavours including apples, pears and peaches intermingle with spices (curry and turmeric). A second intake reveals a more expressive bouquet, which evolves towards ripe fruit flavours. Palate: Smooth and elegant, boasting a concentrated bead which creates a refreshing finish."

Wired For Wine:  Talk about shiny and bright... This Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Champagne is the perfect refined addition to your Mother's Day celebration.   It's a smooth, fresh, elegant French Champagne. Venez avec nous, les fêtards! When you open that first bottle, we have two words for you: oysters and caviar. No need for dinner, just oysters and caviar.  Go ahead and pamper Mom... Salt cod fritters would be genius with the clean, citrusy acidity of this fabulous Francais too. If, however, she prefers to enjoy another course, we love the purity and smooth freshness of this gorgeous Brut Champagne with JFK's oyster stew. The crisp, fine mousse of the wine is the perfect counterbalance for the sinful creaminess of the stew. A Nordic sautee of shrimp, fennel and onions over baguette toasts is a much easier endeavor, but equally rewarding to those who partake... Anybody here like breakfast for dinner? This Nicolas Feuillatte has not met an egg dish it didn't complement. Scramble the eggs, and then toss them with a little cream and some smoked salmon. Top with fresh chives, and you can have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner, as long as you've got a glass of this bubbly next to it... OH la la nos amis!
