Palmer & Co Champagne Rose Solera NV Brut 750ml

Exceptionally fruity! Palmer & Co has created a rosé combining exceptional fruitiness and delicate notes of spice. At the heart of the blend lies a unique Solera of Pinot Noir, a perpetual reserve of several decades reflecting the House’s celebrated expertise. The intense nose is dominated by the energising aroma of wild strawberries with tantalising light notes of red and black currants in the background, overlaying very delicate notes of vanilla and cinnamon spice. Fresh and full-bodied on the palate, it is drawn out in finely tannic, succulent bubbles in the same register of fruity elegance.

William Kelley writes: A new cuvée from Palmer & Co is the NV Brut Rosé Solera, a lovely effort that includes some 8% Pinot Noir from a perpetual reserve. Pale in hue, it wafts from the glass with attractive and already complex aromas of fresh bread, red berries, spices, dried citrus peel and orange. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a nicely concentrated core of fruit, racy acids and a fine mousse, concluding with a saline finish. - Robert Parker Wine Advocate 92

Yohan Castaing writes: With aromas of red berries, spring flowers, pastry, smoke and strawberry/raspberry hints, the Rosé Solera from Palmer & Co has a dynamic palate with a fine bead of bubbles energising its vinous, almost full-bodied texture. Dosage: 8g/L. Reserve wines: 35%. 8% red wine in solera (a system of fractional blending). - Decanter 93

James Suckling writes: Very dry and flavorful with dried strawberries, flowers, and dried roses. Medium-bodied with a dryness and complexity. It’s tight and focused with phenolic tension and intricacy. Tight and very long. Minerally. Chalky. Exciting. Drink now. - James Suckling 96

Alison Napjus writes: Dry and satiny on the palate, this offers up-front notes of white raspberry, delicate herbs, fleur de sel and orange peel that are more subtle through to the finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Drink now. - Wine Spectator 90
