This wine gains its color from a solera of pinot noir, representing eight percent of the blend; reserve wines account for another third. The pale pink color implies the wine's delicacy, but not its layers of complexity. It layers notes of ginger, strawberries and roses over red currants, lasting on a savory, lacy intensity. Ready to enjoy. 93 Points Wine & Spirits. A rosé combining exceptional fruitiness and delicate notes of spice.

At the heart of the blend lies a unique Solera of Pinot Noir, a perpetual reserve of several decades reflecting the House's celebrated expertise. The intense nose is dominated by the energizing aroma of wild strawberries with tantalizing light notes of red and black currants in the background, overlaying very delicate notes of vanilla and cinnamon spice. Fresh and full-bodied on the palate, it is drawn out in finely tannic, succulent bubbles in the same register of fruity elegance.

VinePair: Named one of the 20 Best Sparkling Rosés for 2023 and awarded a 93-point score. "A wine with exceptional depth and character. The nose is intense, with notes of pastry dough and the brambly aroma of wild strawberries. The palate is welcoming with dense fruit, and the fine bubbles do the work of keeping the wine refreshing and lifted." Read the feature here.

James Suckling (94 points):
"Pale rose gold in color with complex notes of walnuts, honey, pastries, parmesan and dried flowers. Soft, creamy and refined, with silky bubbles and yeasty layers. Dry and focused. Drink now or hold."

The Palmer Champagne house in Reims is one of the newest houses in Champagne—only 75 years old—young enough to still innovate but old enough to have respected heritage. It was founded by seven passionate grower-families, obsessed with producing top-quality and legendary champagne, with the clear vision to create a Grande Marque.

Palmer has holdings of over 500 acres of vineyards in the Montagne de Reims sub-region of Champagne, all of which are Premier or Grand Cru vineyards. With its labyrinthine chalk cellars, deep beneath the streets of Reims, and its wines that spend an extended amount of time on their lees, it’s little wonder why Champagne Palmer cuvées have such orchestral flavors—flavors which are always harmonious and balanced. One of the most unique cuvées in Palmer’s range is the Rosé Solera. Like in Jerez, a solera or “perpetual reserve,” is refreshed every year with an addition of wines from the latest harvest. Each vintage adds a layer of complexity to the final blend, telling a myriad of stories in one bottle.

Champagne Palmer is heavily committed to sustainable winegrowing, focusing on soil and vine nutrition, soil maintenance, treatment of the vines and sustainable protection of the vineyards. La Revue du vin de France, the lauded French wine magazine, bestowed Champagne Palmer the Vinegrowers Group of the Year award at the 13th edition of the RVF Grand Prix. This distinction rewards the commitment of Palmer’s dedicated winegrowers and the excellence of the Palmer & Co wines.
