The Story

Palmer & Co VINTAGE is always a subtle association of a particular climatic year and the Palmer style. Consisting exclusively of Premier and Grand Crus from the Montagne de Reims area, this champagne of rare complexity also has the typical charming elegance of Palmer&Co.
Intense aromas of crisp fruits and citrus are mingled with delicate notes of toasted brioche and hazelnut. Ample and sophisticated on the palate, the wine settles to a perfect balance between power and freshness.

Vintage 1996

Up to this point 1996 has been considered a fantastic vintage which produced classic wines; the best since 1990. A long, dry summer produced grapes of record ripeness with record acidity. Some, including myself, question how the 1996s are aging. The wines are generally characterized by a distinctive rather lemony acidity and very good attack, but some wines now seem terribly austere, while others already seem dangerously short of fruit. None of the subsequent vintages are quite as distinctive as 1996, which in the more successful cases should almost certainly be drunk after the 1999s.

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is green-yellow and medium. On the nose it is open, intense, youthful, refined, complex, rich, charming and seductive. The taste is fresh, elegant, fragrant, harmonious, vivid, refined, and dry, and high in acidity, light, with perfectly balanced structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has toasty, white fruits and citrus flavours. The finish is long, lingering, vibrant and flavorful. This wine is fine and impressive. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 1-5 years.
