Palmer Champagne Brut Reserve 375ml HALF BOTTLE

Jeb Dunnuck writes: 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. - Jeb Dunnuck 90

Stuart Pigott writes: Interesting nose of caramelized pear, mirabelle tart and coffee beans, then plenty of red berry fruit character accentuating that on the rather rich, creamy palate. Long, very harmonious finish. Drink now. - James Suckling 92

Simon Field MW, Tim Hall, Anne Krebiehl MW write: An attractive nose of butterscotch and gingerbread. Hints of honey and red apples on the palate with a hint of yeastiness, refreshing with a lemony finish. - Decanter 90

Alison Napjus writes: There's a chalky edge to the flavors of crunchy green pear, chopped almond, lemon pith and spring blossoms on display in this firm Champagne. Moderate finish. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Drink now. - Wine Spectator
