✨ wine.spec_sheet
Palmes d'Or is the iconic prestige cuvée of Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte, first created to honor a grand opera singer and housed in a striking, dimpled bottle inspired by a hand-cut crystal decanter. This exceptional Champagne is a harmonious 50/50 blend of Grand Cru Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, which lends minerality and elegance, and Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims, providing structure, power, and rich red fruit notes. Crafted only in exceptional vintage years, the wine undergoes extensive aging on its lees for a minimum of eight to ten years in the chalk cellars of Chouilly. This slow maturation develops a complex aromatic profile of dried honey, toasted brioche, and white flowers, balanced by a vibrant, precise acidity that reflects the chalky soils of Champagne's finest terroirs.
