Maison Palmer & Co was founded in 1948 and immediately embodied the spirit of excellence of Champagne. In 1959 he bought a cellar of a Maison de négoce in Reims, to which others will be added in the following years. The important growth of the company dates back to the 1970s, with the acquisition of fine chardonnay vineyards in the Côte de Sézanne and pinot noir in the Aube. The definitive expansion dates back to the early 90s, with the purchase of a nearby Maison in Reims, which allows Palmer & Co to settle in two large structures, one next to the other. The company owns about 390 hectares in various areas of Champagne, divided into about forty crus, which allow you to have the right assortment to compose the cuvées. The strong point are the 195 hectares of vineyards classified as grands and premiers crus in the Montagne de Reims area, to which are added the vineyards of the Côte de Sézanne, the Côte des Bar and the Vallée de la Marne, which each bring to the cuvée its specificities. The secret of quality starts from absolute respect for the grapes at all stages of processing and from careful work in the cellar. Palmer also has many reserve wines from the best vintages of the past, which always ensure the high quality level of the Maison. In the splendid caves of the caves, the bottles rest on the lees for very long periods, guaranteeing that finesse, elegance and complexity, a true trademark of Palmer & Co. champagnes.
