Country: France
Region: Champagne
Vintage: NV - Size: 750 ml. - Type: Champagne
Citrus, pear, and apricot aromas with discrete notes of hazelnut and buttery brioche. Succulent and substantial with an unfettered freshness. The model of balance.Tasted from magnum, the latest release of Palmer's NV Brut Réserve is also performing well, offering up notes of citrus oil, honeycomb, nectarine and brioche. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, elegantly textured and vibrant, with ripe but racy acids, fine depth at the core and a delicately chalky finish. This is a very good effort from this quality-conscious cooperative.
