Château Palmer

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 Château Palmer 2006.

Château Palmer 2006. A decade has passed since its birth. In barrel, it was a deep, harmonious wine, wonderfully aromatic and already complex. A wine full of promise. Radiant. Then it fell asleep after bottling, protected by its case. In the years that followed, we regularly revisited this fine vintage through a series of tastings. And it wasn't until May 2016, during a dinner in the dining room of Château, that we rediscovered the 2006 vintage so beloved a few years earlier.

The wine had awakened. An enchantment. The color was still bright, with a few welcome nuances of evolution. Notes of redcurrant gently fade away, giving way to a spicier palette where precious woods and aromatic herbs intermingle. The tannins are taut, yet offer the suavity so characteristic of the estate's wines.

ROSES2025

Available in imperfect

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
