Nicolas Feuillatte Palmes d'Or 2008

"More than just an exceptional Champagne, Palmes d’Or is “The Diva of Champagne”. Blending the finest Crus in Champagne, enhanced by meticulous ageing for at least 6 years, is the finest tribute to the art of Champagne. Always vintage, Palmes d’Or seduces connoisseurs of the finest Champagnes and will flatter the most exquisite gastronomic delights. Fresh, light and engaging on the nose, the Champagne reveals an understated, yet splendid oral and fruity dual character, and is extremely delicate and tenderly zingy, with aromas of herbs, dried owers and lemon zest. Defined and expressive, the Champagne makes a clear impression on the palate. Perfectly balanced lovely acidity and low levels of sweetness. Great structure on the palate, with a fresh and harmonious finish of impressive length. Appealing zesty flavours of lemon sorbet generously coat the palate. Food and wine pairings - Aperitif: Langoustine banderillas; Starter: Oven-roasted or braised scallops; Main: Fillet of turbot or sea
