Palmer & Co Grands Terroirs 2015 Champagne

Luna Chavez — Nice but maybe not £80 nice

7/10

Got this on recommendation from a guy at the wine shop. It's good — properly complex, great structure, long finish. But I kept thinking I could get two decent bottles of something else for the same money. If someone else is buying, brilliant. For my own wallet, I'd probably look elsewhere.

Felix Moreau — Perfect dinner party champagne

8/10

Opened this when we had friends round for a roast and it was a big hit. Really confident flavour, not thin or sharp like some champagnes can be. It held up through the whole meal which surprised me. The 2015 vintage clearly did something right.

Kai Oliveira — Solid but not mind-blowing

7/10

Tried this at a restaurant and thought it was decent. Nicely balanced between rich and fresh, and you can tell there's quality there. But at 12.5% and nearly eighty quid a bottle I was expecting to be a bit more blown away than I was. Good, not great for me personally.
