Elaboration

Nicolas Feuillatte’s iconic cuvée, capturing its quintessential style, Palmes d’Or Rosé Intense is only revealed through the prism of the vintage when a truly exceptional harvest year enables its primary qualities to truly shine. A wine defined by time, capable of stirring supreme emotion, offering texture and flavours of great finesse.
A rare ‘saignée’ rosé, where some of the red wine juices are ‘bled’ briefly from the skins, this intense, well-structured cuvée champions
not only the vintage, but also the intrinsic character of a unique Champagne. A Champagne like no other that transcends the very notion of vintage and embraces eternity. Audacity, sensuality and intensity define this fine,
expressive Champagne, with its complex aromas of red fruits and flowers. An iconoclastic cuvée,
defying convention and presenting the very best of Champagne, in an extraordinary moment.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Slightly coppery, deep color.
  • Nose: Notes of cherry kirsch, rich, pastry-like.
  • Palate: Fresh fruit, lemony, prominent. Subtly spicy. Notes of peony, great aromatic depth.

2008 vintage

A slow year to come to fruition, forged by late fruit ripening and culminating in a crescendo of
aromas, 2008 yields extraordinary potential.

This was the coldest year of the decade, yet also one of the most accomplished. Pristine grapes offered subtle, fresh aromas and exquisite fruit character, which has blossomed over time and reveals the extent of its transformation through the wines. This linear, well-balanced vintage has shaped wines for ageing, built for the future; a vintage calling for patience and anticipation, distinguished and refined. Today the wines linger in the bloom of youth, delivering notes of dried flowers and the gentle touch of gossamer bubbles, while elegantly structured and linear on the palate.

Food Pairings

The world is your oyster! From prepandial drinks, to wherever it may lead!
• Spices and subtly-flavoured dishes would marry well, such as chicken or fish in sauce.
• Seafood and its minerally charm, sea urchins in particular to enhance the fruit.
• Red berry fruit desserts, not too sweet.

Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

What is rosé champagne?

Nicolas Feuillatte rosé champagnes are produced with the same care and high standards as all of our cuvées. The method used to produce rosé champagne can vary, but at Nicolas Feuillatte, we mainly use two methods: blending and saignée.

The Blending Method

The most common method for producing rosé champagne is blending. This involves adding a small amount of red Champagne wine (made from Pinot Noir or Meunier grapes) to the white wine before the second fermentation in the bottle. This method allows for perfect control over the color and aromas of the rosé champagne.

What is a vintage champagne ?

A vintage champagne is made exclusively from grapes harvested in a single, exceptional year. Unlike non-vintage champagnes, which are blends of wines from several years, these bottles capture the unique essence and reflect the climatic characteristics of their year, offering depth and aromatic complexity that evolve over time.

These bottles are, by definition, rarer.

Where is Nicolas Feuillatte located?

We're located in the heart of our beautiful Champagne region, right next to Epernay, the capital of Champagne ! A 10 minutes car or taxi drive will take you from central Epernay to us.

Please note we also offer a shuttle service with our "Tasting Experiences" (including Blind tasting Experience or with our brand new Chronothèque Experience.) You'll find more info by clicking here

At what temperature and how should champagne be served?

Depending on when you plan to drink it, the ideal temperature ranges from 7 to 12 degrees Celsius. For an aperitif, a cool temperature of between 7 and 8 degrees is best. For meals, a temperature between 10 and 12 degrees is fine.

Serving champagne: hold the bottle by the base and pour the champagne gently in several stages if necessary. Ideally, champagne should be served in a specific glass, such as our "Absolu" glass.

A responsible style

Dosage for Champagnes

This process involves adding sugar and reserve wines at the time of disgorging, with the amount of sugar varying according to the desired champagne category (from Brut to Demi-Sec). At Nicolas Feuillatte, the choice of wine is essential because it adds the finishing touch to the cuvée, balancing it and allowing its texture and tone to be adjusted.

This wine will always be adapted to the cuvée to guarantee its unique style.
