Palmer & Co is firmly established on 415 hectares of vines, spread over some forty crus, including more than 200 hectares classified as Grands and Premiers Crus in Montagne de Reims. This cuvée Blanc de blancs is made from Chardonnays mainly from the villages Premier Cru of Villers-Marmery and Trépail on Montagne de Reims. Wines from these terroirs are renowned for their elegance and purity. To add even more fruitiness, they are blended with the delicate Chardonnay du Sézannais.
The wines are aged on lees in the cellars of Maison Palmer & Co, 5 years for the bottle format and 10 years for the magnums, before receiving, after disgorgement, a dosage of 7g/L.
This cuvée is presented in a pale gold color with crystalline reflections. The nose is very harmonious and delicate with its aromas of white flowers, citrus, almond, just lifted by an intense note of toast. The palate is silky and juicy, with hints of citrus and almond, as well as mocha and roasted coffee. A few mineral notes on the finish ensure freshness.
This Blanc de blancs from Maison Palmer & Co will be ideal for earthy dishes, such as a poêlée of ceps and oeufs de caille meurette ... or seafood, like a simple grilled sea bass with a dash of olive oil. For those with a sweet tooth, pair it with a pana cotta lacking in passion.
