Palmer & Co Nectar Réserve is a sweet Champagne from Reims. The dosage of 35 grams of sugar per liter results in a lush and seductive wine, which, however, in no way becomes nauseating or heavy. On the contrary, the champagne has an elegant acidity, which ensures that Palmer & Co Nectar Réserve is balanced throughout! A wonderful champagne to drink with e.g. wreath cake or other desserts, where the dry champagne does not come into its own.
Colour: Golden.
Aroma: Mango, citrus – grapefruit – and caramelized pineapple.
Tasting notes: Creamy taste of pear, apricot and more exotic notes of pineapple.
Serving suggestions: Nectar Réserve is an obvious choice for light desserts, preferably with fruit, white chocolate or nuts.
Palmer & Co is a Champagne house based in Reims. The company started as a cooperative between 7 winegrowers in 1947, and Palmer quickly became the favorite of the distinguished houses when they bought wines and grapes from abroad for the big cuvées. Since then, the enterprise has grown exponentially and today they work with 415 hectares, of which approximately 200 are classified as Grand or Premier Cru.
The philosophy of the winery is to find the perfect balance between tradition and scientific advancement methods. For example, Palmer & Co has, as something quite unique, adopted the solera system known from Jerez in Champagne. For 35 years, they have used it to give the reserve wines depth. Xavier Berdin, oenologist at Palmer, calls it “an everlasting blend, the old wine ‘educating’ the new, the young wine feeding the old”. Every year, the upper “layer” of the solera, consisting of oak barrels, is refreshed with wines from the new vintage. Later, this wine is transferred to stainless steel tanks, from where it is used as reserve in wines such as Brut Reserve and Palmer Blanc de Noirs.
Palmer & Co also has a deep cellar with a particularly large stock of older vintage champagnes for sale.
