The HOLIDAY Season is upon us.
From TODAY to New Year's Day, our lives will change. Holidays, Parties, Birthdays, Family Celebrations and Holiday Office Events will prevail.
It is Gift giving time. And Celebration time.
My yearly MANTRA has not changed--DRINK and GIVE a bottle of NICOLAS FEUILLATTE Champagne for the Holidays.
Years ago, when I had an idea for a CHAMPAGNE book. I went a little CRAZY and purchased every bottle of Champagne that I could afford, as research for the book. I wanted to set my palate in the right direction.
The journey began with 57 bottles of Champagne. My wife thought I was Crazy and thought I was wasting our hard earned money. It would have cost less to visit REIMS and the CHAMPAGNE area in person (I have never been) than to foolishly purchase Champagne.
It was an experiment.
What Champagne Company overall,for price and quality is the Best? I was after a line of Champagne from a vineyard, not just that One bottle that stood out, but the whole product line.
Hands down, the Winner, in my estimation was France's number one selling Champagne--NICOLAS FEUILLATTE. As we all know, even though it is debatable, the French have the Best Palate in the World (Sorry Italy). From cheese to foie gras to wine, the French
know what they are doing. And so does NICOLAS FEILLATTE.
Founded in 1972, with a 25 acre plot in Bouleuse, which was inherited, Nicolas Feuillatte began his 'BRILLIANT' journey in the Ardre Valley of Champagne.
In 1976 CHAMPAGNE NICOLAS FEUILLATTE was created. The company's history is new compared to his rivals, but the Quality and Finese of his products are unmatched.
Since 1976, JEAN-PIERRE VINCENT has been winemaker for Nicolas Feuillatte. Jean-Pierre talks about his winemaking, " DURING THE BLENDING, I AM LOOKING FOR PURE EXPRESSION OF THE HOUSE STYLE, WHICH I DEFINE AS THE 'Vineyard, Simplicity and Truth'.
To me, the Champagne from Nicolas Feuillatte is rich, full of freshness, lively and especially pure in expression.
Nicolas says, "Champagne is a modern wine with a touch of soul tied to it's history".
Critics say Nicolas Champagne is "WINE WITH BUBBLES".
The portfolio for 2011/2012 contains TEN Champagnes, ALL of which are Superior and fit into the Quality and Price formula.
The HOLIDAY Season is upon us.
Enjoy and GIVE a bottle of Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne and Help CELEBRATE the season.
