4-Star Rated Estate (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
This beautiful winery, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities just outside Reims, operates with the rigor and dedication of a traditional house, a commitment reflected in the care taken with its range. The wine sources are predominantly from the northern sectors of the Montagne de Reims, a fact reflected in the integrity of the cuvées, ranging from the successful Blanc de Blancs to the Solera rosé, crafted from an original red wine solera system, which gives it an inimitable character. The vintages age to perfection here and are released back onto the market after a few additional years in the cellar.

About the wine:
The Perle Blanche Chardonnay is in top form in this well-balanced wine. It is ripe, with soft notes of yellow apple, white peach, and walnut oil, and a clean, lively palate that is slightly smoky with reductive notes, yet quite juicy and with a hint of pineapple. A fine example of Chardonnay.

About the estate:
Champagne Palmer & Co is an offshoot of the Société Coopérative des Grands Crus de la Champagne, which has been based in Avize since 1947. The Palmer & Co brand was launched the following year, in 1948. The founders were seven winemakers who owned vineyards in the Premier Crus and Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. The cooperative moved to Reims in 1959 and began expanding to other vineyards, such as the Sézannais and the Riceys region. As a result, the symbolic milestone of one million bottles of champagne was reached in the 1980s.

About the wine:
The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs has a very subtle nose, offering only faint notes of cornmeal and wheat bread. On the palate, with its vigorous mousse, it is lively, yet brings citrusy touches to a body that is essentially taut and brilliant, resulting in a classic, vibrant, and slender wine with a real sense of tension and restraint. Classic, unpretentious, yet true to its character. Very pleasant. Dosage: 6.5 g/L. Disgorged: August 2021.
