You know that Champagne that's all bone-dry and serious? This isn't it. Nicolas Feuillatte Demi-Sec is the gentle, golden, slightly-sweet one. Honey, ripe peach and warm brioche, with fine bubbles that fizz and never get cloying because there's enough fresh acidity keeping it bright. Pour it when the cake comes out, when something good just happened, or when you simply want bubbles that hug you back. We'll get it to you cold and fast, whatever the hour.
First sniff is ripe yellow fruit, think peach and apricot, with honey, toasted brioche and a whisper of vanilla and almond. On the palate it's smooth and rounded, a touch sweet (that's the demi-sec), carrying candied fruit and a soft hazelnut richness. The bubbles are fine and persistent, and a streak of fresh acidity stops the sweetness from going sugary. Deep golden in the glass. Generous, comforting, easy to fall for.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Here's the cool part. Nicolas Feuillatte isn't one grand château, it's people power. It's the brand of a giant growers' cooperative based in Chouilly, in the Côte des Blancs, pooling fruit from thousands of vineyards across Champagne, France. That scale and shared know-how is exactly why it's France's best-selling Champagne. The man himself, Nicolas Feuillatte, first made bubbles for his circle of American friends back in the 1970s before the co-op took the name global. Real Champagne, made by the many.
