Wine Producer / Historical Notes

The history of Nicolas Feuillatte begins with its visionary founder — a successful entrepreneur who made his first fortune in the 1960s as a major commercial coffee importer in New York before pivoting to Champagne vineyards and launching his eponymous brand in 1976 to share exclusive cuvées with high-society American friends, including Jackie Kennedy. In a parallel development, regional visionary Henri Macquart founded the Centre Viticole de Champagne in 1972 to help local winegrowers unite and secure fruit sales after a massive surplus harvest. In 1986, Feuillatte sold his booming brand to Macquart’s cooperative, forming the unified Centre Vinicole – Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte (CV-CNF). Despite being the youngest of the major historical Champagne houses, it has grown into a cooperative powerhouse that today unites over 82 distinct winemaking co-ops representing more than 4,500 individual grower-vineyards across the region — granting the house unprecedented access to premium fruit spanning 11 of the region’s 17 prestigious Grand Crus. From New York coffee importer to Jackie Kennedy’s Champagne of choice to one of the most powerful cooperatives in the region — the Nicolas Feuillatte story is as extraordinary as the wine itself.
