The holidays are the perfect time to gather with loved ones and celebrate the joys of the year and good fortune of their company. Whether this holiday gathering is over a home cooked meal of seasonal dishes or at a boisterous or intimate party, Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte has an exceptional range to provide the perfect compliment.

We immensely enjoyed the Brut NV, which is renowned for its balanced and elegant character and comprised of a blend of meticulously selected crus that include 20% Chardonnay for elegance and finesse, 40% Pinot Noir for roundness and structure and 40% Pinot Meunier for fruit.

It is at once austere and flavorful, always a delight. It is an ideal accompaniment for appetizers, throughout the entire meal or for celebratory holiday occasions. Try it with caviar, sushi, smoked salmon, a festive roast, steak, assertive seafood, shellfish and cheese or nuts.

Rose Brut, the signature of Nicolas Feuillatte, is an intense, impertinent pleasure! There is simply no other rosé Champagne like this cuvée from Nicolas Feuillatte. Blended from 60% Pinot Noir, 10% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Meunier  this wine evolves the glass with intense aromas and a festival of flavors, including raspberry, strawberry and red currants. Well structured, elegant and smooth it is beautifully balanced. Lovely with fresh goat cheese, salmon, roast pork, poached chicken, venison in a cranberry sauce and fresh fruit.

This holiday season Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte offers three holiday packages ideal for celebrating or as gifts: a 750-ml bottle of Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte Brut NV in a beautiful keepsake canister by 2010 Artist of the Year Nils-Udo; a 750-ml bottle of Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte Brut NV, packaged with two elegant Champagne flutes; and a 2-pack of Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte’s One Fo(u)r mini bottles.Keepsake canister by 2010 Artist of the Year Nils-Udo In honor of an 11-year tradition of supporting contemporary art by partnering annually with an avant-garde global artist.

For quality and price, La Caravelle is the winner

Rita Jammet’s Bouquet Ventures is pleased to announce the introduction of the new line of La Caravelle Champagne which now includes three labels — the signature Brut Cuvée Niña, the Rosé and the Blanc de Blancs. Hand chosen by Rita and her husband André to carry on the tradition of their iconic La Caravelle restaurant, these Champagnes have been crafted in the traditional style using only the best quality grapes from Epernay in the Champagne region of France.

“We have dreamed of expanding La Caravelle’s Champagne line in order to meet the many requests from our customers for Rosé,” says Rita Jammet. “We are very proud of this new collection, which has the high quality that our clients have come to expect from us along with prices that offer a very good value. I think our new label really reflects this collection’s approach – Champagne with a clean, contemporary style, yet based in classic roots.”
Three Elegant Styles of Champagne
Champagne Cuvée Niña Brut NV

Our signature Brut is named after one of the “Caravelle” ships built by Christopher Columbus for his voyage to the New World. The multi-vintage Cuvée features a blend of 40% chardonnay, 30% pinot noir and 30% pinot meunier, with an elegant floral nose and notes of yuzu, white peaches and gingerbread.
Also available in magnum bottles.
Champagne Rosé Brut NV

In response to the increased enthusiasm for Rosé Champagne, we are introducing this lovely blend which uses the same base as our Cuvée Niña, with the addition of elegant red wines from well-known appellations such as Aÿ and Bouzy. This beautiful salmon-pink Champagne offers a floral and red berry bouquet and evokes hints of cherry almond, pomegranate and fennel.
Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut NV
Crafted to satisfy the most discerning palates, this Blanc de Blancs is made with an exclusive blend of the best chardonnay crus harvested primarily from the Côte des Blancs. Aged for three years, this complex wine has an elegant bouquet perfumed with white flowers and a refreshing, lively flavor with notes of citrus and rhubarb.

La Caravelle Champagne is currently being served at some of New York City’s finest restaurants and bars including Adour, Veritas, Aldea, David Burke Townhouse, Scarpetta and Apotheke Bar. They are available for retail purchase at Morrell Wines, Acker Merrall & Condit, and Bottle and Soul in Manhattan, J’s Wine and Spirits in Brooklyn, and in the Hamptons at Lamplighter Wines & Liquors and Wines by Morrell.
