Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte Blanc de Blanc

92 points, Wine Spectator A delicate bead forms a regular, pirouetting stream of bubbles. The wine is bright and delicately golden in appearance, tinged with silver-green. Elegant and graceful, this Champagne is initially underpinned on the palate by bucolic, springtime notes of fresh flowers and angelica. The complex aromas gain in intensity, revealing notes of fresh honey and plums, followed by mint and coriander on the finish. The perfectly balanced freshness will support this delicately mineral Blanc de Blancs as it attains its true potential. The Collection Vintage 2012 Blanc de Blancs combines the purity and elegance of Chardonnay with the rich character of the vintage.
