Champagne’s star cooperative, Palmer & Co delivers hard-to-beat value for money. Its pristinely made 2013 perfectly reflects the vintage’s classically lean and fresh style. Inviting, stylishly toasty nose with heaps of pristine, cool fruit underneath; yellow apple, pear, peach, vanilla and dried apricots. Fruit-forward, vivacious and compact on the palate, it finishes with long juicy appeal and a flick of toffee on the dry palate.
