The wine
Presented in a gift box, ready to give.
An intense, seductive and elegant vintage Champagne, with charming aromas of orange blossom layered with yellow fruits, delicately spiced pineapple and tonka bean. The creamy texture is enveloped by citrus tones, nuances of brioche and dried fruits, through to a deliciously long finish.
Grands Terroirs is Palmer's vintage cuvée, made only in exceptional years and drawn exclusively from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards on the Montagne de Reims, the heartland of Pinot Noir around Verzenay and Mailly. The 2018 blends 47% Chardonnay, 46% Pinot Noir and 7% Meunier, and spent six to eight years on its lees in the house's chalk cellars 18 metres underground, which is where the brioche and depth come from. A light dosage of 6 to 7 g/l keeps it precise. Equally at home as an aperitif or through a meal.

Champagne Palmer & Co
View all Champagne Palmer & Co winesFounded in 1947 and established in Reims, Palmer & Co is rooted in the greatest terroirs of the Montagne de Reims, with over 200 hectares classified Premier and Grand Cru.
Dominated by the freshness and purity of Chardonnay, the Palmer style is characterised by precision and elegance. The house holds unusually deep reserves of old wine, which lends the non-vintage cuvees a depth many houses reserve for their prestige bottlings. The Rosé Solera is a particular curiosity, built on a perpetual reserve begun decades ago, and Amazone de Palmer is the house at full stretch.
