  • The Art of Creating Emotions CHAMPAGNE PALMER & CO the ART of CREATING EMOTIONS
    PRESS RELEASES The Art of Creating Emotions CHAMPAGNE PALMER & CO THE ART OF CREATING EMOTIONS For Palmer & Co, the creation of a cuvée is just as much the work of Nature as the work of Man. We combine the different grape varieties, crus, vintages and reserve wines harmoniously and with passion until we obtain the perfect blend, reflecting the intricate work of a master craftsman and a symbol of our House style: balance and elegance. EXCELLENCE FROM ITS VERY CREATION, A SEARCH FOR PERFECTION It started in 1947 as an association of seven well established winegrowers, all owners of premier and grand cru vineyards in the areas of the Montagne de Reims, and all striving for ultimate perfection. The unique style of their wines was rapidly recognised and the Palmer & Co brand, created in 1948, immediately incarnated this spirit of excellence. Since 70 years, being drawn together by our shared respect for the House values (Excellence, Authenticity and Emotions) makes us feel “Palmerian”. Whether referring to the vineyard workers, the creators of our cuvees or our staff dedicated to ensuring that the company operates smoothly and grows steadily, our “Palmerians” in spirit share the same DNA and can all take pride in the solid reputation of the Palmer & Co brand. THE HISTORICAL ROOTS OF THE MONTAGNE DE REIMS Palmer & Co is solidly established on 415 hectares of vineyards, comprising about forty crus, with over 200 hectares classified as Grand and Premier Crus in the Montagne de Reims area. Grapes from the Côte de Sézanne, Côte des Bars and Vallée de la Marne complete our blends, all contributing their specific characteristics.

    DOMAINES BARONS DE ROTHSCHILD (LAFITE) CHAMPAGNE BOIZEL “JOYAU DE FRANCE” BRUT 2000 BACKGROUND In 1834 the Boizel House was established in Épernay, the heart of Champagne, by a family passionate about the wines of its region.

Working with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced only from Champagne’s most coveted Grands and Premiers Crus blended with the best crus of Pinot Meunier, Boizel’s intimate knowledge of each village and hillside coupled with longstanding grower relationships allows them the ability to select the finest quality grapes for their Champagnes.

  • CROIX D'irval (France, Champagne
    CROIX D’IRVAL (France, Champagne, Coulommes la Montagne) BACKGROUND: Jean Servagnat is in his early 30s and left his bank career in 2010 to pursue wine making. His family has been in Champagne for many generations, living at Irval and owns a 4.5 hectares vineyard at Coulommes la Montagne, between Reims and Epernay. Historical references to the property name are pretty easy to track down. Croix d’Irval brings together ancient roots and history as a large cross stands at the top of a roof at Irval, linked to the crusades during the 14th century. Now, this powerful cross represents the family ‘savoir-faire’ and values, fashioned by time, by the understanding of the nature around them and by high quality requirements. The cuverie is in neighboring Vrigny and is state-of-the-art. Jean currently blends 50% of harvest juice (for bottles commercialized in 2016, 2012 vintage) with 50% reserve wine (in 2016, wines from older vintage, mainly 2011 and 2010) from older family plots of 2.5 additional hectares. In 2020, the family’s 20-yr rental agreement on these vineyards will expire and Croix D’Irval will possess 7 hectares in total (including 2.5 ha in Sermiers). A PREMIER CRU CHAMPAGNE: The current offering of Croix D’Irval Brut 1er Cru comes from 25-year old vines in Coulommes. The interesting blend is 70% Pinot Meunier (plus equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir), producing a clean, structured but fruity profile with lasting minerality. The color is a beautiful pale hue and the bubbles are elegant and persistent.
