ABOUT THIS WINE
Amazone de Palmer is the prestige cuvée from Palmer & Co, a Champagne house established in 1947 by seven grower families. The wine is crafted from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes sourced from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims region of Champagne, France. It is a non-vintage (NV) cuvée, though specific vintage wines may be used in its blend. A notable feature is its unique oval-shaped bottle and the inclusion of an 18% Chardonnay solera from a perpetual reserve, contributing to its complexity. This cuvée is produced only in exceptional years, typically every five to six years. Palmer & Co holds significant vineyard holdings, with over 200 hectares classified as Grand or Premier Cru, and employs sustainable viticulture practices.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Amazone de Palmer is produced using traditional Champagne winemaking methods. Grapes are hand-harvested from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards. A key technique is the inclusion of an 18% Chardonnay solera from a perpetual reserve, which adds complexity. The wine undergoes extended aging for over ten years in chalk cellars, contributing to its development. Palmer & Co is certified for sustainable viticulture practices, including Haute Valeur Environnementale and Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne (VDC).
