Champagne Palmyre from Apollonis is definitely a nice discovery. Brut Nature, so super dry, with no added sugar, this Champagne is one of the good products offered by Michel Loriot, the Meloman winemaker. He calls himself this, because of his burning passion for classical music, but especially because of his singular habit of diffusing, in the vineyard and in the cellar, music to promote the growth of the grapes and the ripening of his wines. Champagne Palmyre, 65% Pinot Meunier and 35% Chardonnay, comes from vines with an average age of about 35 years. A wine of beautiful expressiveness, it matures for about 3 years in the cellar before disgorgement and final release. Golden yellow in color, in the glass, it reveals a fine and persistent perlage. The nose is expressed with faint fruity overtones, while the mouthfeel is lively and clean, with well-balanced acidity and good persistence. A pleasantly harmonious champagne in all its components, it is excellent with oysters and shellfish. For those with a sweet tooth, however, it should undoubtedly be tried with smoked salmon and sushi.
