Vintage details

Each vintage of Champagne 'Amazone de Palmer' - Palmer & Co reflects the climatic specificities of its respective harvest. The grapes are harvested in excellent vintages, characterized by a perfect balance between ripeness and freshness. The weather conditions, often with sunny days and cool nights, promote aromatic concentration and the acidity necessary to ensure the wine's longevity and precision.

Winemaking and aging

The production follows the classic method: the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, with a long period of aging on the lees extending for several years. This slow maturation imparts aromatic complexity and a creamy texture. After disgorgement (the removal of the lees), the Champagne remains in the cellar for another year before commercialization, to allow for a perfect taste balance. The final dosage is approximately 9 g/l, which provides a pleasant softness, balancing the typical freshness of Champagne.
