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 1990.

A staple of the Margaux appellation, Château Palmer presents itself in the glass adorned with a sublime tile-red color. On the nose, it offers delicious, jammy aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry and blueberry. Notes of spice and licorice add depth to the bouquet. On the palate, the structure is impressive. Straightforward on the attack, it continues with a dense mid-palate of velvety tannins. The fruit is fully expressed and carries us through to a racy, elegant finish that lingers for a long time.
