Palmer & Co Vintage 1987 Collection – Rare mature vintage champagne

The Palmer & Co Vintage 1987 Collection is a true treasure for collectors and lovers of mature champagne. Created exclusively with grapes from the exceptional 1987 vintage and selected from the best terroirs of the Montagne de Reims, this cuvée represents the essence of time, patience and craftsmanship.

The Collection series is among the most prestigious vintage releases from Champagne. The bottles have been aged sur pointe – “neck down” – in Palmer & Co’s deep chalk cellars, where temperature and humidity are ideal for slow and harmonious development. The result is a champagne with deep complexity, refined mousse and a mature character that only decades can create.

1987 – A vintage with character

The 1987 vintage offered classic structure and freshness, giving the wine impressive ageing potential. The grapes were carefully selected from some of the most prestigious parcels in the Montagne de Reims, with Pinot Noir providing backbone and depth, while Chardonnay adds elegance and finesse.

Through decades of aging, the wine has developed tertiary aromas and a silky texture, without losing its freshness and balance – a clear hallmark of Palmer & Co’s style.

Tasting notes

Aroma: Complex and developed with notes of dried fruit, candied citrus and roasted nuts. Hints of brioche, honey and slightly caramelized notes.

Flavor: Full-bodied and harmonious with a fine, integrated mousse. Flavors of baked apple, orange peel and toasted almonds are balanced by vibrant acidity and chalky minerality.

Finish: Long and elegant with deep complexity and a lasting freshness.

Palmer & Co – Time as a player

Founded in 1947, Palmer & Co has built a reputation for precision and the art of aging. The house’s deep chalk cellars in Reims are at the heart of the Collection range, where time is an active player in elevating the wines to their full potential. Each vintage in the series is unique, reflecting both the character of the year and the inimitable know-how of the house.

The Vintage 1987 Collection is a rare opportunity to experience fully mature champagne from an iconic producer – an ideal choice for special moments or as a valuable addition to the cellar.
