Cellarmaster Guillaume Roffiaen has paid tribute to the great 2008 Vintage in the creation of this Palmes d'Or. A precision blend designed to enhance the sensory experience, this prestige Cuvee is made from 95% Grand Cru fruit in equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.Upfront, permeating aromas of apricot, raw almond and a distinctive chalk signature are underpinned by a streak of minerality and acutely delicate smoky finish.This harmonious combination is accentuated with the tropical-style Chardonnays from Montgueux. Golden and translucent with striking amber tones. On the palate, the 2008 Palmes d’Or Champagne is wonderfully rich and amazingly complex, the bubbles forming a lovely stream of effervescence resembling fine pearls. A distinguished and elegant vintage Champagne to be savoured and respected. .

Complex aromas of dried citrus fruit, such as orange and peach with pie crust. Some brioche. White pepper. Full-bodied, dense and layered. Very deep and beautiful. Needs time to come together, but already a beauty.
