The Centre Vinicole – Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte (CV-CNF) is the oldest union of producers of champagne. It comprises 82 winemaking cooperatives representing more than 5000 vineyards, situated on a hill in the commune of Chouilly, on the road leading to Pierry, and overlooks the community of Épernay.
Henri Macquart founded the Centre Vinicole de la Champagne in 1972 as a storage and vinification unit to serve winegrowers, federated around cooperative or individual wine presses, and it got its present name in 1986.
Nicolas Feuillatte established his brand in 1976,[1] after inheriting a vineyard near Reims, the Domaine de Bouleuse. In 1986 it was purchased by the Centre Vinicole de la Champagne. Centre Vinicole produces about 24 million bottles of champagne a year.
In 2017, Nicolas Feuillatte named Four Seasons employee, Craig M. Joseph, as their new chief Operating Officer.
In December 2021, CV-CNF announced that it would be merging with Coopérative Régionale des Vins de Champagne (CRVC).[2]
