About Nicolas Feuillatte Cuvée Gastronomie Réserve Exclusive Brut Champagne
A sophisticated offering from a major Champagne house
Produced by Nicolas Feuillatte, the Réserve Exclusive Brut (often referenced as part of their premium cuvées) is crafted to reflect the house’s style: fruit-forward, expressive yet refined.
While the exact label “Cuvée Gastronomie Réserve Exclusive” may not be widely documented, it aligns with the house’s tradition of creating elegant Brut cuvées for gastronomic pairing.
Key Details
-
Blend: ~40% Pinot Noir, ~40% Meunier, ~20% Chardonnay.
-
Ageing: Typically 3-4 years in cellar for the Brut cuvée, improving maturity and texture.
-
Style & Profile: Non-vintage Brut — designed for immediate enjoyment but with enough cellar age to show depth.
Tasting Profile:
-
Colour: Light gold with fine, persistent bubbles.
-
Aromas: Fresh fruit (pear, apricot), gentle floral undertones and a hint of brioche.
-
Palate: Balanced and lively, ample fruit character supported by structure, finishing with finesse and subtle acidity.
Why It Stands Out:
-
A versatile and refined champagne that works beautifully with food — hence the “Gastronomie” reference.
-
The extended ageing (for a non-vintage) contributes complexity not always found at this level.
-
The blend combining the three principal Champagne grapes ensures a harmonious style: roundness, fruit and elegance.
Serving & Pairing Tips:
-
Serving temperature: Chill to ~8-10 °C to allow aromatics to open and bubble finesse to show.
-
Glassware: Use a tulip or white-wine style glass (rather than a narrow flute) to capture the full aromatic range and texture.
-
Pair with:
-
Elegant seafood: scallops, lobster, delicate white fish with citrus glaze
-
Poultry dishes, veal or creamy risotto
-
Mild to medium cheeses or refined starters
-
-
Storage: Keep upright in a cool, dark place away from strong odors and light until serving.
