First Impressions
Palmer & Co Blanc de Blancs Champagne arrives at £62.25, positioning it in the mid-to-premium bracket where quality must shine. 75cl / 12% - Palmer was established in 1947 by seven families who were orignially growers with vineyards in Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims. They are.
France's winemaking heritage needs no introduction, but the best producers continue to find new ways to express their terroir while honouring centuries of tradition. Palmer & Co is a name worth knowing in this context.
On the Nose and Palate
The nose offers fine and persistent mousse releasing aromas of brioche, toasted almond, and citrus blossom. Moving to the palate, the wine is rich and layered, offering baked apple, hazelnut, and a creamy mousse with a dry mineral core. The finish is lingering and refined, with a final note of almond, citrus, and a dry mineral finish.
Food Pairing and Serving
Equally at home as an aperitif or alongside seafood, sushi, or delicate canapés. Serve at 8-10°C in proper flutes or, better yet, white wine glasses to appreciate the full bouquet.
The Verdict
Palmer & Co Blanc de Blancs Champagne earns a well-deserved 8 out of 10. This is an outstanding champagne that delivers Chardonnay with genuine conviction and craft. At £62.25, the quality-to-price ratio here is genuinely impressive. Whether you are building a cellar or simply looking for something excellent to drink tonight, this bottle earns its place.
