Just like it's spelled
"Feu-yacht" would be close, though there's not an exact English equivalent for the "euill" . . . .

More like foy-ee-at, with perhaps half a y in front of the last syllable.

I jumped the NYE gun, and opened a bottle of 2004 Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Millenaires. A very worthy successor to the 1995!

Theyre both owned and made by the same person although I heard Gruet was sold recently

Last night at a restaurant in Denver, I ordered a bottle of an NV Egly-Ouriet. Oh yum.

I had a Franck Bonville Blanc de Blancs that was surprisingly good a few weeks ago. About $40/bottle.

I celebrated a friend getting signed with a literary agent a couple days ago and decided it was time to pop open the Taittinger Brut Reserve. Good decision. Mmmm
