We found positive mentions of Nicolas Feuillatte Brut NV Champagne from Eric Asimov at The New York Times and Ed McCarthy at Wine Review Online. Consumers posting to WineAccess.com are full of praise for this sparkling wine.
Critics agree that Nicolas Feuillatte Brut NV Champagne is an excellent value. Although it's not as refined or elegant as vintage Champagne, non-vintage Champagne really showcases a winery's house style, and costs less. In the case of Nicolas Feuillatte, the house style is said to be fairly light and delicate, and a great complement to party foods. If you're looking for a less expensive wine that's nearly as good, reviews point to Roederer Estate Anderson Valley Brut NV (*est. $20), a California sparkling wine produced by a top-ranked French Champagne maker that some critics say is even more "crowd-pleasing" than true Champagne.
