Notes from the Winemaker:
Palmer Brut Reserve is based on a selection of wines from the best vineyards in the Champagne region. The Premiers and Grands Crus from the Montagne de Reims area predominate and lend their distinctive personality to these wines.

The nose, amazingly clean, is expressed through a rich palette of aromas, including citrus, pear and apricot with some subtle notes of hazelnut and a discreet touch of buttery brioche.

Succulent and substantial to the palate, yet with an unfettered freshness, this wine is eminently seductive: a model of perfect balance.

Ratings & Reviews

92 Points - James Suckling:
"A buttery, creamy and flavorful rendition based on the 2014 vintage, showing biscuit, lemon curd, raspberry and honeycomb aromas. Very soft bubbles. Around 50% chardonnay, 40% pinot noir and 10% meunier. 8g/L dosage. Drink now." (Jun 2024)

91 Points - Decanter Magazine:
"Palmer was one of the few houses who prevailed with its NV based on the tricky 2017 vintage. The house's style of crisp, taut northern Montagne fruit opened up with time on lees very much on show, with apricot pastries and toasted almond flavours captured with a good dash of citric length from the Montagne Chardonnay. Approachable, yet there's nuance and interest here. 57% Chardonnay, 22% Pinot Noir and 21% Pinot Meunier, with 40% reserve wines." - Tom Hewson (Oct 2023)

91 Points - Vinous Media:
"The NV Brut La Réserve is a blend of 51% Chardonnay, 32% Pinot Noir and 17% Pinot Meunier. Reserve wines from 2015, 2016 and 2018, which make up 41% of the blend, complement the 2019 base. Rich shortcrust pastry on the nose comes with the tiniest bit of smokiness. The palate presents smooth, tart yet ripe apple flesh and a touch of honeyed evolution with beautifully smooth, almost calm mousse. Suppleness, lovely brightness and a chalky backdrop make this an elegant proposition. Dosage is 6.5 grams per liter. (Lot: L24123C)" - Antonio Galloni (Apr 2025)

90 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"The bright yellow NV Champagne Brut Reserve is luxurious on the nose, with aromas of pastry cream, fresh baked brioche, baked apples, and candied citrus. Full-bodied, it keeps its decadent feel all the way through, with a note of hazelnut, and is robust in style. Enjoy it over the coming several years." - Audrey Frick (Dec 2024)
