Now that we find ourselves only a matter of weeks away from Christmas, there is no question that the bubbly will start flying from all store shelves and, to help you choose the perfect drop for the festive season, we have created Champagne Monday!
Leading up to Christmas, every Monday we will have a Champagne on special - this week, we have the NV Brut Reserve and Blanc de Blancs from Palmer & Co on offer!
The Palmer & Co Brut Reserve NV was named “World Champion NV Brut” at last year's Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships
Palmer & Co Brut Reserve NV - $69 per bottle ; $75 RRP
"This is a delightfully structured, succulent champagne with a nose of yellow iris, white hedge flowers and apple blossoms. The Chardonnay is from an enclave in the Montagne de Reims – from Trépail and Villers Marmery and then Sézannais from south of Côte des Blancs. The palate reflects “golden delicious” apples, honey-dew melon, new pineapple, pink grapefruit, custard apple, tangelo & honeyed nuts. The Pinot Noir from Mailly, Verzenay and Ludes showcases raspberries, new season cherries and strawberries which shines through a layer of nougat and mandarin sherbet. A slice of apple pie appears sprinkled with cinnamon and toasted almonds. It is 40% Pinot Noir, 10% Pinot Meunier and 50% chardonnay and the base wine is from the gorgeous vintage of 2014. The wonderful reserve wine from their Solera method really adds beauty and richness to this beautiful champagne." - Bernadette O'Shea, Champagne Consultant
"A soft, finely integrated wine with ripe apple fruits and a crisp citrus texture. With its creamy mousse and lively final acidity this nonvintage cuvée is ready to drink. Palmer is the brand name for a grouping of seven growers." - Wine Enthusiast
The Palmer & Co Blanc de Blancs was named “Best Champagne Blanc de Blancs NV” for the third consecutive year at the Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships
Palmer & Co Blanc de Blancs NV - $110 per bottle ; $125 RRP
"It is very elegant with freshness, precision and its own crystalline vibrance. The nose displays white peach blossom, apple blossom & watsonia. The grapes come from Trépail, Villers Marmery and Côte de Sézannais. There are flavours of white nectarines, white peach, new pineapple and pear with mineral notes and chalky characters. Layers of blanched cashews, white almonds flash through the palate, along with the limestone characters. It is buttery and rich showing the 5 years on lees and comes from the 2015 base. It has great blending, well balanced, with a delightful finesse and a hint of sappiness. Ideal wine for a hot Queensland day!" - Bernadette O'Shea, Champagne Consultant
"The latest release of Palmer's NV Blanc de Blancs Brut is showing very well indeed, bursting from the glass with a ripe and expressive bouquet of grapefruit, orange zest, toasted bread, white flowers and nectarines. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with an elegantly textural attack, fine depth at the core, ripe but racy acids and a long, flavorful finish. This has always been one of Palmer's emblematic cuvées and this disgorgement would appear to be a particular success." - 92 Points, The Wine Advocate
