A blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in equal measure, the 2006 Palmes d’Or Brut is fleshy and complex. The blend champions a selection of grand cru sites from Montagne de Reims, including Verzy, Verzenay, Ambonnay, Bouzy and Aÿ, and from the Côte des Blancs, Chouilly, Cramant, Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The latter reveal a tempestuous edge which has mellowed in unison over time, bound in perfect harmony with the addition of the tropical Chardonnays from Montgueux which constitute 7% of the blend.
Palmes d’Or Brut offers endless notes of fine honey, bee’s wax, dried fruits and tropical fruits, together with a subtle, nuanced touch of toast. Here the worlds of sensual pleasure and complexity collide, embodied in the intensity of Pinot Noir and unctuous Chardonnay style, the result of a hot, generous year of great ripeness. Over time the grand cru wines dominating the blend express minerality, notably the pinot noir from Montagne de Reims, and come together in a burst of harmony, merging with the intensely tropical Chardonnay from Montgueux.
