2008 Nicolas Feuillatte 'Palmes d'Or Rosé Intense' Champagne with Gift Box

Winemaker Notes: Palmes d’Or Rosé is a fine Champagne requiring serious contemplation that typifies pinot noir to perfection. Carried by the intensity of the vintage, rich and mature, it is juicy and consistent amid its full-bodied structure. The "saignée" method, imparting lovely color from the black grape skins, brings enviable complexity and a wonderfully rich palate of red fruit flavors. On the palate, ripe fruit and stone fruit flavors intertwine with a hint of warm forest floor and sweet spice. This subtle, sensual, prestigious Champagne stands as an exemplar of the perfect balance of powerful pinot noir fruit from Bouzy and its subtly perfumed Ricey counterparts. Ideal for accompanying fine food and entertaining, this generous, utterly charming Rosé is best shared with an intimate circle of friends. It would make a heavenly digestive to end a meal in style.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "This is incredible with subtle cedar, creme brulee, crabapple, cedar and Chinese five spices, as well as dust. Full to medium body. Light tannins. Cedar and mahogany. Serious rosé that reminds me of great red Burgundy. Fantastic. Very dry. Fascinating. Unique."


Wine Spectator - "Tightly meshed and harmonious, this pale, garnet-colored rosé Champagne shows density, with notes of steeped raspberry, dried mint, orange peel and iron slowly expanding on the plush, finely textured mousse. Fresh and focused, opening beautifully in the glass, this should pair nicely with food, even dishes incorporating poultry or light game."
