Champagne Palmer & Co Brut Reserve NV

Outer quote mark Another outstanding effort from this estate is the NV Brut Reserve. Lightly hued with a crisp bouquet of crushed citrus, golden apples, and toasted brioche, it has medium-bodied richness, crisp acids, a great mousse, and shows a clean, precise vibe on the finish. It brings serious acidity yet still stays nicely balanced. It’s going to evolve for a solid decade. Inner quote mark (4/2020) – 90 points Jeb Dunnuck

Outer quote mark Mostly from premier and grand cru villages in the Montagne de Reims, this wine is half Chardonnay, and that variety carries its flavors in a vinous direction. Pale golden-apple scents open to a rich, supple and heady Champagne, with some briny notes in the end. Pour it with skate Grenobloise. Inner quote mark (12/2019) – 90 points Wine & Spirits

Outer quote mark A classic nose of white flowers, spice and orchard fruit, with brioche and toast in the background. Bright and accessible. (panel tasting) Inner quote mark (9/2019) – Decanter

Outer quote mark Straight-shooting, light-peach and pastry style with a smooth palate that delivers a bright array of citrus and stone fruit. Tropical fruit to close. Inner quote mark (7/2018) – James Suckling
