Palmer Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut NV 750ml

Alison Napjus writes: A lively version in an aperitif style, offering a balanced mix of ripe green apple and pear, biscuit, candied ginger and chalky mineral set on a light, lacy bead. Drink now. - Wine Spectator 90

Tamlyn Currin writes: Broad gunpowder-smoke and citrus-cream nose. A serious, competently balanced wine with sweetness that tastes deceptively higher than 6.5 g/l, full-sail fruit ending in a tight draw of sherbet-bright acidity. The Palmer Blanc de Blancs had a good track record of ageing well when it was a vintage wine, and this newer NV version tastes as if it will also take a good 10 years of cellar age. - Jancis Robinson 17
