The Magnum Format: France's Best-Selling Champagne in the Format That Celebrates in Style

My Wine Man on Nicolas Feuillatte

Nicolas Feuillatte is France's best-selling Champagne. Founded in 1976 and backed by the Centre Vinicole de la Champagne, a cooperative of over 4,000 growers farming more than 2,200 hectares across the finest appellations in Champagne, Nicolas Feuillatte has access to an extraordinary breadth of Grand Cru and Premier Cru fruit. The Brut Réserve is the house flagship, a generous, fruit-forward NV blend that delivers genuine Champagne quality at an honest price. In Magnum format (1.5 litres, the equivalent of 2 standard bottles), it becomes the natural centrepiece for any celebration: the larger bottle slowing the ageing process, delivering a finer, more persistent mousse and greater complexity than the standard 75cl.

Tasting Notes

Deep golden yellow with fine, persistent bubbles. Rich and immediately inviting, yellow stone fruit leads: plum, apple compote, fig, and dried apricot, layered with delicate brioche and a subtle floral lift. On the palate, intense, deep, and unctuous, the ripe stone fruit of the nose carries through with beautiful generosity, supported by a creamy mousse and a full, harmonious palate. A long, warm, richly satisfying finish.

Style & Drinking Window

Medium to full-bodied with fine persistent bubbles and generous natural acidity. Drinking beautifully now. Serve at 8-10°C, allow 30-45 minutes in an ice bucket. Plan for approximately 12 glasses from a single Magnum.

Food Pairing

The generous stone fruit depth and creamy mousse of the Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Magnum make it a magnificent match for New Zealand Turkis Free Range Whole Chicken from My Meat Man. The wine's warmly satisfying finish complements the rich, full flavour of premium free-range whole chicken beautifully, whether roasted with lemon and thyme, spatchcocked over charcoal, or slow-cooked with Champagne, shallots, and herbs.

Why This Is a Smart Buy

At HKD 499 for 1.5 litres (the equivalent of 2 standard bottles), the Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Magnum works out at HKD 250 per bottle equivalent, making it one of the finest value Magnums available in Hong Kong. France's best-selling Champagne in the format that professionals agree is ideal for the variety.
