3. Champagne Pannier Brut Sélection
Like Palmer, Pannier is a brand hailing from a growers’ cooperative, and with similarly high-quality results.
Indeed, this Brut NV Champagne also gained a Gold in this year’s Champagne Masters, and comes highly-recommended for its depth of flavour, and the consistent quality of its cuvées at all levels – particularly its prestige cuvée, Egérie de Pannier, which, as previously mentioned, must be the best-value top-end fizz money can buy.
However, it is the Brut Sélection that I picked out here, a wonderful NV fizz that sells for significantly less than much more famous brands.
