Written Notes

Sourced from top Premier and Grand Cru Chardonnay vineyards of the Montagne de Reims (Trépail and Villers-Marmery) alongside Côte des Blancs fruit, this 2018 vintage Blanc de Blancs captures the ideal combination of sunny vintage generosity and Palmer's signature chiseled elegance.

The nose is inviting, radiant, and beautifully defined, opening with white flowers, juicy yellow peach, and candied lemon peel, smoothly interwoven with autolytic notes of fresh butter croissant, blanched almonds, acacia honey, and a crisp stream of crushed chalk. On the palate, the entry is silky, bright, and expansive. A fine, velvety mousse carries a generous core of citrus oil and ripe stone fruit across the mid-palate, held in dynamic balance by a clean, energetic line of citrus acidity that keeps the warm-vintage fruit pure and precise. It moves seamlessly into a long, dry, and elegantly structured finish marked by mouthwatering chalky salinity and lingering grapefruit zest.

On the palate, it delivers a fine, creamy mousse alongside a brilliant core of chalky minerality and bright citrus acidity. Beautifully balanced, elegant, and persistent throughout the finish
