TASTING NOTES
Terroir Premier Cru is clear gold and extremely bright in appearance.
Its mineral, nervy character reflects its true origins. This is a cosmopolitan, revealing wine.
On the nose, sweet notes of acacia honey, pear, white fruits and fresh citrus give way to full-flavoured notes.
A sense of place permeates and dominates the champagne from the outset; from the typical mineral character of limestone soils on the Côte de Blancs slopes after rain, or the mineral core of the stony soils from Champagne's iconic limestone terroir.
Then, spicy pinot noir from the south of Montagne de Reims brings intensity and smooth structure to this finely-chiselled wine, caressed by the velvet-textured Meunier, which exudes delicatesse.
Finally, a salty, vibrant burst of energy, together with great poise activates the taste-buds. Terroir Premier Cru is ideal served as an aperitif and throughout a meal.
Terroir Premier Cru is a champagne best shared, bursting with culture and perfect for those with a passion for eating out in style. Synonymous with French "Art de Vivre", it is well-suited to bistronomy culture. A champagne to enjoy throughout a meal, and the perfect partner to refined, seasonal dishes.

Crus in Champagne
The Champagne appellation counts more than 300 wine-producing communes, also called "crus".
Each cru is classified according to the quality of the grapes. The best classified villages are the Grands Crus (17), followed by the Premiers Crus (42), and finally the unclassified crus.
The Terroir Premier Cru champagne by Nicolas Feuillatte is the most complete Premier Cru blend to exist.
