Champagne Palmer & Co, founded in 1947 and based in Reims, is renowned for its premium and exclusive Champagnes, cultivated from over 200 hectares of vineyards classified as Grand and Premier Crus in the Montagne de Reims area​​. The House is notable for its blend of tradition and innovation, employing deep chalky galleries for maturing its wines, which remain in contact with the lees for extended periods to enhance complexity and flavor​​. Palmer & Co was originally established by seven grower-families, unified by their pursuit of excellence and a vision to create a Champagne house that embodies passion for harmony and balance​​. Over the decades, it has become distinguished for its classic cuvées and a unique approach to winemaking, including the adoption of the Solera system for certain blends, a testament to its commitment to achieving harmony in its wines​​. Dominated by the freshness and purity of Chardonnay, Palmer & Co's Champagne style is celebrated for its precision, clarity, and the graceful elegance it brings to each bottle

Deep golden hue with refined, delicate mousse. Aromas of toasted brioche, roasted almonds, honeycomb, dried citrus peel, baked apple, and subtle hints of truffle and spice. On the palate, it is rich yet poised, with creamy texture, layered complexity, and lingering mineral tension. The finish is long, elegant, and profoundly mature.

An exceptional match for lobster, scallops in butter sauce, truffle-infused dishes, aged Comté or Parmesan, and refined haute cuisine. Also magnificent enjoyed alone as a contemplative vintage Champagne.
