Nicolas Feuillatte Palmes d'Or Grand Cuvee 1997
Vintage
from Champagne, France - Other regions
winemaker's notes:
The Palmes d'Or Grand Cuvée is a work of love
for Feuillatte winemakers, as they have selected
the best from the vintage. Only truly exceptional years qualify to produce it. A blend of 50% Chardonnay for elegance and finesse and 50% Pinot Noir for body and power. A pale yellow
hue with fine delicate bubbles, its complex
aromas are dominated by notes of pastry and caramel lifted by subtle touches of fennel, star anise and lemon peel. This smooth and balanced
Champagne is beautifully packaged in a matte gold
container and black velvet wrap.
"Mixed aromas of toasted grains, caramel and beer. Sweet and doughy with vanilla, malt and tart citrus. Lengthy finish with a mix of brioche, citrus and baked apple."
