Nicolas Feuillatte Reserve Exclusive Brut (75cl, 12%)

A non-vintage Champagne from Nicolas Feuillatte, made by the traditional method and blended from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. The cuvée is aged in cellar for three to four years, roughly two and a half times the Champagne minimum, and the house keeps five vintages of reserve wine for each grape variety to support blending precision. The nose offers toasty brioche and honeysuckle, then fresh pear, apricot and a delicate thread of raspberry, with orange blossom beneath. The palate is glossy and fine-spun, with ripe apple and pear, a lively tropical accent, cooked peach, spiced pear and pickled ginger, carried by lemon zest acidity. The finish is medium-length, with toast, lemon zest and subtle spice.
