Palmer & Co - Champagne Rosé Solera

A Solera rosé made from an original red wine Solera, which gives it an inimitable character.

This beautiful winery, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities just outside Reims, operates with the rigor and professionalism of a family-run estate, which is reflected in the care taken with its product line. The wine sources are primarily from the northern sectors of the Montagne de Reims, a fact reflected in the integrity of the cuvées—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.

Champagne Palmer & Co is a branch 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 Cru and Grand Cru appellations of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. The cooperative moved to Reims in 1959 and began expanding to include other vineyards, such as those in the Sézannais and the Riceys region. As a result, the symbolic milestone of one million bottles of champagne was reached in the 1980s.

The NV Brut Rosé Solera is a blend of 46% Chardonnay, 37% Pinot Noir, and 17% Pinot Meunier. Its color comes from the addition of 9% red wine aged in a solera system. Soft notes of strawberry and cream emerge from this pale rosé. On the palate, it features a lively, slightly creamy mousse and a vibrant freshness, supported by a gentle autolysis of rye bread and a delicate fruitiness from the reserve wines. With its predominance of Chardonnay and its slender, taut body, it is the perfect aperitif-style rosé Champagne.

Pale rose-gold in color with complex notes of nuts, honey, pastries, Parmesan, and dried flowers. Smooth, creamy, and refined, with silky bubbles and hints of yeast. Dry and concentrated. Ready to drink now or suitable for aging.

With a beautiful salmon-pink color, it offers a subtle, honeyed nose with a mineral freshness that carries over to the palate, where it reveals rounder notes of melon and a crisp acidity that lingers through the finish.
