High-Quality Champagne for All

Nicolas Feuillatte’s mission is to create high-quality drinking champagne that is accessible to everyone(*1). Making this a reality has been a long-held passion. Part of the way Nicolas Feuillatte does this is to offer exceptional wine at an affordable rate.

Did you know that Nicolas Feuillatte was a part-time Sydneysider? During his 87 years, the Frenchman divided his time between France and Sydney! Before he inherited vineyards from his family, he imported coffee and chocolate(*2).

Champagne Hillsides, Houses and Cellars – UNESCO World Heritage Site
