Description

Palmer & Co Champagne Grand Terroirs Magnum 1.5L Gift Box 2012 is a perfect embodiment of the excellence and quality of Palmer & Co's Premier and Grand Cru vineyards of the Montagne de Reims. Crafted using a blend of 46% Chardonnay, 49% Pinot Noir, and 5% Meunier, this champagne is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Palmer & Co winemakers.

The 2012 vintage was almost miraculous, considering the unfavourable weather conditions at the beginning of the vegetative cycle. With a cold winter, a rainy spring, and a cool and wet beginning of summer, the Montagne de Reims vineyards faced numerous challenges. However, thanks to the sunshine and warmth of August, the Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays finally excelled, producing beautifully balanced wines of incomparable finesse.

The magnum bottle contains 1.5 litres of champagne, which is twice the size of a standard bottle. This size enhances the champagne's aging potential, allowing it to develop a more complex and nuanced flavour profile over time. Additionally, the magnum's larger size and unique appearance make it a perfect centrepiece for any celebration, providing an impressive visual display.

Presented in an elegant gift box, the Palmer & Co Champagne Grand Terroirs Magnum 1.5L Gift Box 2012 is a perfect gift for any champagne lover, wine enthusiast, or connoisseur. With its exceptional taste, remarkable aging potential, and impressive appearance, this champagne is truly a gem that any wine lover would be delighted to own.

Review

There is a stunning toastiness of instant ‘wow’ on the nose of this sublime magnum from a top year. The pristine Montagne de Reims origins impress with the brightness and intensity of fruitiness, with grapes from Mailly and Verzenay forming the grand cru core, and villages like Trépail, Villers-Marmery and Rilly-la-Montagne supporting. Super-sweet but at the same time restrained yet powerful fruitiness. There is width and depth to this exuberant and beautifully structured wine. Rich, fresh, and delicious now, yet equally age-worthy. A heavenly bottle.

Tasting Profile

Nose
A nose in the purest Palmer & Co style, with its fruity notes of candied lemon and dried fruit, toasted pine nuts, and caramelized hazelnuts, which evolves towards honeyed and slightly spicy notes of candied ginger and pastries.
Palate
The palate is both delicate and generous, marked by its saline minerality and charming citrus aromas (lemon pie, pomelo, yuzu). Its silky texture completes a superb balance between generosity and tension. A great vintage that leaves a lasting impression with its amplitude and incredible balance, a jewel of the Palmer & Co style.
