Château Palmer
It's often said that anyone who has tasted Château Palmer at least once will remember it for the rest of their life. Without pretension, this may well be true, as it's such a beautiful name for Margaux. Château began to make a name for itself in 1814 when Colonel Charles Palmer bought it from Marie de Gascq, in which he invested considerable sums.
The Château Palmer was awarded the title of Troisième Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification for the Paris Universal Exhibition. It wasn't until the following year that the neo-renaissance Château as we know it today was built under the aegis of the Péreire brothers. Today, Domaine is owned equally by the Sichel and Mähler-Besse families, who continue to expand its reputation.
The vineyard covers 55 hectares, planted with 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. The vines have been entirely managed according to Biodynamic principles since 2014. The wines are aged for 20 to 22 months in oak barrels, 50% of which are new.
A Second wine is produced by the estate, Alter Ego de Palmer.
The Château Palmer is renowned for the finesse and elegance of the wines it offers. Wines that are a true invitation to the pleasure of the senses.

Description Alter Ego de Palmer 2020.
"If Palmer is a bass-based orchestral symphony, Alter Ego is a dazzling jazz theme."
During this very special year, time seemed to stand still, forcing us to focus on the essentials: cultivating our vines, listening to our environment. In the wake of an outstanding 2018 and a 2019 of pure elegance, 2020 completes an exceptional trilogy with race and voluptuousness.
At the end of February, almost two weeks ahead of schedule, the budburst of the vines launches a vintage of great precocity.
