Tasting Notes
Subtle aromas of citrus, white flowers and almonds lead into a silky palate complemented with bright minerality. An incomparably pure cuvée with great finesse and elegance.
Vineyards
This Blanc de Blancs is crafted from Chardonnay grapes, primarily from the magnificent terroir 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 Chardonnays of the Côte de Sézanne.
Winemaking
This Champagne sees extensive aging on the lees – 4-5 years for the 750ML and 8-10 years for the magnum.

Pastries, sliced apples, spiced pears and shortbread on the nose. Sleek, fresh and balanced with tight bubbles and tasty pastry and yeasty elements. Drink now.

This wine offers up a light gold hue as well as a marine/seaside-like minerality mixed with stone fruits, citrus, and white flowers. These carry to a medium-bodied, lightly textured Champagne that has high yet nicely integrated acidity, beautiful overall balance, and a crisp, clean finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. It’s another brilliant champagne from this house to enjoy over the coming 10-15 years.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
August 2019
On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with an elegantly textural attack, fine depth at the core, ripe but racy acids and a long, flavorful finish. This has always been one of Palmer's emblematic cuvées and this disgorgement—from early 2018—would appear to be a particular success.
Tasting Panel
May 2024
This finely beaded 100% Chardonnay hails primarily from the Montagne de Reims Premiers Crus of Trépail and Villers-Marmery and sees four-plus years on the lees. Mingling with brioche, nuts, and honeycomb on the nose, glowing golden apple alights with pluot on the satiny, succulent, slightly sea-salty palate, finishing deftly with citrus and chalk.

This chardonnay has a classical beauty, the flavors sculpted out of fresh golden apples. It grows mostly in the Montagne de Reims (Trépail and Villers-Marmery) with a contribution from the Côte de Sézanne. The fruit is floral with scents of daffodils and apple blossoms, the texture luscious and round.
Wine Enthusiast
January 2024
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. Drink now.
Wine Spectator
November 2022
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.
