Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Subtle aromas of citrus, white flowers, and almonds. Silky on the palate with beautiful minerality. An incomparably pure cuvée. 100% Chardonnay.
Crafted from Chardonnay primarily from the magnificent terroirs of Villers-Marmery and Trépail. These Premier Crus in the Montagne de Reims area, recognized for their elegance and freshness, are harmoniously blended with the delicately fruity Chardonnay of the Côte de Sézanne.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Revisited from magnum with another year in bottle, the early 2018 disgorgement of Palmer's NV Blanc de Blancs Brut has continued to improve. Wafting from the glass with a toasty bouquet of citrus oil, orchard fruit, bee pollen, nectarines and iodine, it's medium to full-bodied and fleshy but precise, with fine depth at the core, racy acids and a pinpoint mousse. This comes warmly recommended.

Bright, crisp, and racy, this is just what a Blanc de Blancs should be. Elegant, bracing, and perfectly balanced, with a long, tangy finish and an underlying complexity.

COMMENTARY: The Champagne Palmer & Co. Blanc de Blancs is concentrated yet refined and delicate with a long and lasting finish. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of stones, minerals, and savory spices. Pair it with grilled Dungeness crab and enjoy the feast. (Tasted: September 20, 2022, Napa, CA)

James Suckling
Attractive biscuity, yeasty aromas here, with some salty parmesan alongside dried citrus peel. Medium-bodied and full of flavor, with excellent density and focus. Tight bubbles.

Wine Enthusiast
This 100% Chardonnay Champagne has a fine tang and an edge of minerality. Its ripe fruits are a balance to the acidity and vivid texture. The wine has a beautifully crisp aftertaste.

Wine Spectator
A lively version in an aperitif style, offering a balanced mix of ripe green apple and pear, biscuit, candied ginger and chalky mineral set on a light, lacy bead. Drink now.
