Champagne’s leading cooperative, Nicolas Feuillatte, represents one of the region’s most consistent sources of quality and fair prices. As part of an organization encompassing 5,000 vine-growing members, chief winemaker Guillaume Roffiaen has access to fruit from 5,200 acres of vines spread throughout Champagne. Roffiaen and a team of 15 agronomists work with growers on a weekly basis in the vineyards, while also including members in tastings and offering classes in topics such as marketing and English throughout the year. Most winemakers create their introductory non-vintage bottlings, such as Feuillatte’s Réserve Exclusive, by starting with the wines from the newest harvest and later selecting complementary reserve wines to blend. Roffiaen flips the process: He begins by finding interesting reserve wines and then picks the blending wines from the new vintage. It’s an unconventional approach to the construction of the Réserve Exclusive, and it may just be the secret behind its success. #6 Top 10 Values of 2023 ... More details

Cooked peaches with apples and hints of spices follow through to a full body with rich fruit, yet a very creamy texture and a flavorful finish. Fun amount of spiced pears with apples here. Light bitterness at the finish. Drink now.

Varietal: Champagne Blend

Whilst Champagne sparkling wines are most commonly made with a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grape varietals, there are actually seven fine grape varietals allowed by French wine law for inclusion in the wines of this region. These include Arbanne, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and and Petit Meslier alongside the others, although these four are being used less and less in the modern age. Champagnes are normally blended wines, although the popularity of single variety 'blanc de blanc' Champagnes made solely with Chardonnay grapes, and 'blanc de noir' wines made only with Pinot Noir varietal grapes are becoming more and more popular. The blending process found in most Champagnes aims to take the finest points of each grape varietal and bring them together to produce spectacular, strong yet balanced results in the bottle.

Region: Champagne

The region of Champagne in the north-easterly part of France has, for hundreds of years, been known for the production of high quality, elegant and characterful sparkling white wines. Champagne wines continue to dominate the market for sparkling wines, and are the envy of many countries, with plenty of producers attempting to emulate their unique practices. The chalky, mineral-rich soils of this high altitude region are ideal for growing the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Petit Meunier varietal grapevines which cover the region and are usually blended together in the production of Champagne wine. The climate of Champagne is far cooler than other famous wine regions in France, but the wineries which are found all over the area have generations of expertise, and have no problems in producing vast quantities of their famous produce for the world market.

Country: France

French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.
