Nicolas Feuillatte Palmes D'or Brut Champagne, 2008

Decanter-Champagne, France - "Rich, oxidative, vinous; old-school style. Toffee apples, lemon curd on toast, brioche rolls and butter. Just on the edge of brut, with red apple, baked blueberry. Nothing overdone, nothing overripe, nothing over-mature - pure, persistent quality."
