Palmer & Co vineyards are primarily situated in the grands terroirs of the remaining vineyards within the Côte de Sézanne area, the Côte des Bar and the Marne Valley. Champagne Palmer’s style is defined by elegance and balance. The cuvee is Chardonnay 50-55%, Pinot Noir 30-35% and Pinot Meunier 20-25% with 30-35% reserve wines aged on the lees for 5-6 years.

The Champagne Palmer La Réserve is a masterful expression of their collective savoir-faire. The brilliance of the radiant golden hue is accentuated by a stream of fine, persistent bubbles with a delicate bouquet of gingerbread cookies and freshly baked pastry crust. Elements of white peach intermingle with hints of candied citrus and preserved Meyer lemon. There are secondary layers of almond cream and a delicate touch of honeyed chamomile that emerge with undertones of chalky minerality. The finish is impeccably long, resonating with notes of citrus zest and saline freshness, leaving a lingering impression of elegance and harmony.
This Champagne’s richness and complexity make it a versatile companion at the table.
