Nicolas Feuillatte Palmes d’Or Rosé Intense Vintage 2008 Gift Box is an intense and structured cuvée that exalts both the vintage and the character of a champagne with a singular personality. The iconic cuvée of Nicolas Feuillatte champagnes, the quintessence of its style, Palmes d’Or is a pure jewel, an ode to beauty, which is only revealed through its year, each time an exceptional vintage which allows all its primary qualities to be exalted.
The 2008 vintage: A year of slow construction forged by a late ripening of the berries and a crescendo of aromatic profiles, 2008 promises to have exceptional potential. It is the coldest year of the decade, and without doubt the most successful. The grapes, perfectly healthy, have delivered subtle aromas, with a fresh tone, a bright fruit that blossoms with time and finds in the wines the measure of their bloom. This vintage is straightforward, balanced and built for the future. It is a vintage of patience and expectation, distinguished and refined. To date, the wines are still in their youthful expression, delivering notes of dried flowers, with a caressing touch of bubbles, a straight and elegantly structured substance.
A slightly coppery shade, deep, sensual, bewitching.
On the nose
Notes of kirsch cherry, greedy, pastry-like.
In the mouth
Explosive palate with fresh, lemony, prominent fruit. A refreshing champagne built around a taut, subtly spicy, airy frame, which retains the structure provided by the Pinot Noir. The finish is fine and racy, with notes of peony and great aromatic depth.
To appreciate all its finesse and aromas, champagne should be enjoyed chilled (but not iced). Depending on the cuvée, the ideal serving temperature is between 8 and 12°C.
A great ageing potential
A rosé de saignée, 100% Pinot Noir, a combination of the Grands Crus of Bouzy, delicately spiced, and the intense fruitiness of Riceys.
A rest in the cellar of almost ten years. Dosage: The Cellar Master’s approach is to adapt the dosage level to each cuvée in order to sublimate its flavours and aromas and thus guarantee its unique style.
