Champagne Palmer Blanc de Noirs NV
A contemporary expression, with delicate aromas of peach and apricot lifted by vibrant notes of grapefruit and gooseberry. A beautiful combination of intensity and finesse.
The grands terroirs of the Montagne de Reims are central to Champagne Palmer & Co's wine philosophy, encompassing over 200 hectares across seven iconic crus, all facing north. A perfect balance between the Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier varieties, this elite blend of growths from the Montagne de Reims area, the Côte des Bars and the Marne Valley offers a contemporary expression of a Blanc de Noirs. This aromatic diversity enables the oenologists to craft unique blends each year.
Cellar master Xavier Berdin skilfully blends varieties, growths and reserve wines with harmony and passion, until the perfect balance is reached: the epitome of the Palmer & Co. style. The Pinot Noir and Meunier grapes were carefully hand-harvested, and vinification took place in the traditional method. This prime blend is enriched by a solera of Pinot Noirs from the Grand Crus of Mailly and Verzenay. This cuvée was composed of a high proportion of reserve wines of 35%. It was then bottle-aged for three years on the lees, in the 18-metre-deep chalk cellars which imbued the wine with incredible complexity. Dosage 6-7g/l.
