Palmer & Co - NV - Blanc de Blancs - 750 ml.
Country: France
Region: Champagne
Vintage: NV - Size: 750 ml. - Type: Champagne
Subtle aromas of citrus, white flowers, and almonds. Silky on the palate with beautiful minerality. An incomparably pure cuvée. 100% Chardonnay.Revisited from magnum with another year in bottle, the early 2018 disgorgement of Palmer's NV Blanc de Blancs Brut has continued to improve. Wafting from the glass with a toasty bouquet of citrus oil, orchard fruit, bee pollen, nectarines and iodine, it's medium to full-bodied and fleshy but precise, with fine depth at the core, racy acids and a pinpoint mousse. This comes warmly recommended.

Alluring, toasty, reductive character with lemon-peel and nectarine aromas. The palate has a bold, fleshy serving of ripe, yellow peaches with handy freshness. Drink or hold.
Wine Spectator: 91
A rich and toasty range of poached nectarine, honey, brioche, graphite and saline notes is layered in a sleek and well-knit package. The creamy texture carries the flavors through the clean-cut finish. Drink now through 2022

Produced from Chardonnay grown on the Montagne de Reims and in the Sézanne region further south, this is a fresh wine, more fruity than mineral although with a definite tilt towards citrus acidity and perfumed acidity. It's delicate, stylish and the bottling is ready to drink. Palmer is the brand name for a grouping of seven growers.
