Palmer & co owns 415 hp vineyards, with over 200 hp being classified as Grand and Premier Crus in the Montagne de Reims area in champagne. The grapes for their many blends consist of 50% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Meunier.
The aim of Palmer & co is to constantly develop the high quality of champagne. When harvesting, work is done 24 hours a day to provide the many million bunches of grapes with the most optimal conditions. In the wine cellar, they ensure that the right conditions for the wines are guaranteed by carefully selecting the right casks to store the wine in. These standards and Palmers & co’s modern techniques ensure beautiful, high-quality champagnes.
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.
