Presentation of the Palmes d'Or vintage

Launched in 1985, Palmes d'Or is the house's prestige cuvée, recognizable by its unique bottle design, inspired by a Tahitian black pearl. Aged for a long time in the cellar, it expresses the finesse and power of the finest Champagne vintages. The cuvée generally combines Pinot Noir (bringing structure and intensity) and Chardonnay (bringing finesse and freshness). Offered here in Magnum format, it reveals even more elegance and aging potential.

Serving tips

Serve this magnum at a temperature of 10 to 12°C in tulip or white wine glasses to allow for optimal aeration. Opening the bottle about ten minutes before serving is enough to reveal its complexity. The magnum format gives it extended aging potential: it can still be stored and matured in the cellar.
