Palmer & Co, Blanc de Blancs

Nice bubbles. Chalky, with some fruity lime, a little bread on the end. Reasonable acidity, shorter finish. Works well with cheese.

This was superb - drank New Years Eve 25. A testimony to quality of this co-operative and the magnum effect. A delicious BdeB

not blind, from Magnum Lovely, acidity well integrated. 93-94

1996 vintage

Like most people i struggle with the 'what is your favourite....?' question but I do reckon Palmer is one of my favourite's and this BdB is just magnificent.

Very lightly toasty, and citrus forward with bright M+ acidity which in turn provides really pleasant tension. Fresh, and mineral driven too with some wonderful white fruit on the palate gradually developing green apple notes too. Bro WT figured out its a Blanc de Blanc, well done! 100% Chardonnay, mainly from the vineyards of Trépail and Villers-Marmery. Includes Premiers Crus from the Montagne de Reims area, blended with fruit from the Côte de Sézanne. These are typical chalky soils, which …

Födelsedags champagne till frukosten på bryggan. Citrus, gröna äpplen, mineraler, nötter och brioche

2016 vintage

Bone dry and delicious.

This is going to be a re-run of my previous tasting note from nearly a year ago. It is delicious and quite powerful on the nose. The mousse is especially fine and noticeable. But the most distinctive aspect, that others have also noticed, is the palate. It REALLY does develop in glass over about an hour. I am not sure you can/will resist it but if you can its actually worth decanting this and waiting for 30 - 60 mins.

2016 vintage

2007 vintage, needs a little air to open up fully. Nice toasty maturity here to mix with the creamy orchard fruit, really a lovely wine, in its prime and I’d love to know if it develops more with time.

No tasting note.

Green apples, toast and toffee on the nose. Great vintage at incredible value

2016 vintage

Have had in my cellar since 2016 so has a bit of age now. Bright, light gold hue, fine beading. Nose: stone fruits, pears, some yeasty notes. Nice complexity. Palate: medium+ body. The acidity is now nicely balanced and in check. Fine finish. Excellent.

Very nice wine. Crisp and complex. Will last (or for my style - needs) a few more years. Drink 2025 onwards

Classic blanc de blanc style. Crowd pleaser

Good, especially at this price point. Lovely brioche and yeasty nose, coupled with some citrus and apple notes. Some acidity (med to med low). Not much minerality though. Still, very good QPR. Private comment: Again, check if this bottle came from CdV or (more likely) S.

Its been a long time since we and this and on this occasion 2 very consistent bottles were opened as an aperitif for our event. Bright and firm, sharp and very much an aperitif in style , less round than we remember it from a few years back . Works well as an aperitif. 90

First time with Palmer & Co and this didn't disappoint. Very pronounced brioche and yeasty nose, like rolling out pizza dough in the kitchen. Energetic, fine mousse. Crisp with a tingling acidic finish.

Pale lemon colour. Aggressive mousse. Medium and developing nose with yellow apples, lemon, toast, butter, brioche and wet stone. Medium taste of yellow apples, lemon, toast, brioche, butter and wet stone. Medium (+) long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. A very good BdB. Drink now or over the next five years. Goes well as an aperitif, or with cured meat or shellfish.

Lemon coloured, fine bubbles, persistent effervescence. White bread, red apples, citrus, a touch of fudge. Slim body, some sweetness, uplifting acidity. Good length. Very nice. NV, base 2016, 39% reserve, deg 2020/09 51% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot noir, 24% Pinot meunier. Dos 8,6%%

Mature, citrus and almond. Better than my previous bottle.

1996 vintage

beautifully balanced, flinty and a hint of toast

2 bottles drank contemplatively without food over a long evening. Served in a large white wine glass. Very moderate mousse and few beads but of impressively tiny pinprick bubbles. Deep straw-gold colour looking quite mature. Nose of hay barns and nicely lifted, fresh-crushed Oyster shell. Palate is fresh acidity followed by burnished copper and very lightly toasted barley. Juniper berries. Quite rich and deep-bodied. Vinious almost flat but more minerality and verve emerges with more time in the glass. Definitely …

Gourmetklubbens fyrtioåttonde middag (Tema: Dekadens) (A+N, Duvbo) : (From magnum, disgorged in 2007) Deep yellow colour with a stream of fine bubbles also showing a wonderful nose with roasted coffee, butter and grapefruit notes in a delicious maturing way. Dried fruit and with a refreshing grapefruit citrus acidity on the palate. Opens up on the lengthy finish with a refreshing zesty bitterness and some fruitiness as well. This is still showing a nice intensity on the palate and of course …

Magnum.

1996 vintage

Really good with nice citrus acidity and a complex bouquet on a base of bread/brioche and nougats. Long taste. Needs pairing with food. Like it!

1996 vintage

Provad på magnum. Enkel och anonym utan några direkta fel.

2003 vintage

Nyårsafton hos A+N med P+A, F+A, R+J & H (Duvbo) : Nice yellow colour with a stream of fine bubbles opening up the nose showing seashell, minerals and lemon with incipient maturity still standing back. The acidity on the palate is typical of the vintage and the finish is lovely showing lemon peel so that it almost feels salty on the lips. Very wonderful right now from a magnum bottle without any reductive tones dominating yet, which is something I …

1996 vintage

From magnum. Great bouquet with brioche, citrus and elegance. Typical 1996 style with lively acidity, perfect balance and medium to long finish. Will definitely last for for another 3-5 years in magnum. A very nice Champagne! (5+14+15+9)

1996 vintage

Consistent with previous notes.

Very good basic champagne.

Pang på, inga krusiduller. Håller ett par år till men jag väntar mig ingen fantastisk utveckling. Perfekt som pratbubbel. Behöver inte analyseras så mycket.

1996 vintage

Lots of green apples on the nose. Very small "soft" bubbles. Taste of citrus, green apples, minerals and toast at the end. Very pleasant.

Farge: Lys gylden Duft: Moden, brød, gjær, eple, litt sitrus. Smak: Flott syre, eplefrukt, "ungdommelig moden". Deilig nå.
