Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte 'Palmes d'Or' Rosé 2008
Vintage Character
After a cool and not very sunny summer, the 2008 harvest began around mid-September in near perfect weather that held through two to three weeks of picking. Cool nights, bright days and almost no rain gave one of the healthiest crops in years and kept acidity high. The vintage was widely declared by houses and is regarded as having long ageing potential. In 2008, the 'Palmes d'Or' Rosé from Nicolas Feuillatte reflects that season. The house makes its Palmes d'Or rosé by saignée, from Pinot Noir, and ages it for at least ten years in the cellars.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Ripe red berries, cherry and flowers lead, with spice and a hint of brioche. It is Brut in style, with medium body and high acidity. The palate is rich and vinous, with fine bubbles, firm acidity and a long finish. Years in the cellar add complexity and depth. Roast duck, tuna and lightly spiced dishes suit it. Serve at about 6 to 8 degrees Celsius in a tulip-shaped or white wine glass. With a bottle of this age, check the cork and fill level on opening, as storage history affects how it has developed. Champagne blends rest on Pinot Noir for structure, Chardonnay for finesse and Meunier for fruit. It also makes a fine aperitif, and the acidity cuts through fried food and richer dishes.
Winery Background
Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte was created in 1976 and is the brand of the Centre Vinicole de la Champagne, a union of growers' cooperatives founded in 1972 by Henri Macquart. The union is based in Chouilly, overlooking Épernay, and brings together more than 80 member cooperatives. Its aim was to give winegrowers a way to guarantee the sale of their grapes after a surplus harvest. The cellar team is listed under Guillaume Roffiaen. The house describes aromas of ripe red fruit and flowers, with spice. Its Palmes d'Or prestige cuvée was first made in 1985, and Jean-Pierre Vincent was the house's first chef de cave.
