Champagne Palmer & Co. Blanc de Blancs Champagne NV [1.5L MAGNUM]
(Champagne, France) - [WA 92] [JS 92] [DM 92] [WE 91]

Notes from the Winemaker:
This Blanc de Blancs cuvee of incomparable purity is based on Chardonnay, mainly from the magnificent vineyards of Trepail and Villers-Marmery.

These Premiers Crus from the Montagne de Reims area, recognized for their elegance and freshness, are blended in a perfect accord with delicately fruity Chardonnay from the Cote de Sezanne.

This crystalline champagne exudes subtle aromas of citrus fruit, white flowers and almonds. Fresh and silky on the palate, it unrolls with finesse on beautiful mineral notes that are typical of these chalky soils.

Ratings & Reviews

92 Points - Wine Advocate:
"The latest release of Palmer's emblematic NV Blanc de Blancs Brut is showing very well, bursting from the glass with gently reductive aromas of crisp orchard fruit, toasted bread, nectarine and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and precise, with a pretty core of fruit, bright acids and an attractive pinpoint mousse, it's showing well today but will be even better with a little more bottle age." - William Kelley (Sep 2021)

92 Points - James Suckling:
"Lots of chalk, biscuit, white grapefruit, almonds and grilled lemons on the nose. Some honey, too. It’s medium-bodied with a creamy mousse. Minerally and focused. No reserve wine added to this; it’s based on the 2017 vintage. 7g/L dosage. Drink now." (Jun 2024)

92 Points - Decanter Magazine:
"Palmer's emblematic Blanc de Blancs has always been a single vintage wine, but now it is once again (helpfully) labelled as one after a period of being labelled without a vintage. The sunny 2018 has yielded a beautifully open, effusive Chardonnay, with grapes coming mostly from the Montagne de Reims, although there's some admirable restraint and focus for what can be a very open-knit vintage. It is full of toasted baguette, lemon marmalade, white peach and orchard blossom aromas. The palate is sweet-fruited yet far from simplistic, with the lees-ageing of almost six years bringing delicious toasted-nut savour and a creamy texture." - Tom Hewson (Aug 2025)

91 Points - 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. Drink now." - Roger Voss (Mar 2024)
