If you liked 2018 Palmer, you are going to love the 2022! Produced in a similar style, the wine is ostentatious, flamboyant, and incredibly concentrated, yet it is also elegant, upbeat, and complex. The perfume is on the...

Lots of creme de cassis with cedar, dried flowers, blackberries and dark cherries. Opulent and flamboyant. Full-bodied and layered, this grows with plush, velvety tannins that caress every inch of your palate. Extremely...

The Grand Vin 2022 Château Palmer is based on 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, from tiny yields of 22 hectoliters per hectare. It's a deep, unctuous, fabulously textured 2022 that does...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, March 2025

Thomas Duroux and his team opted to wait to pick the 2022 Palmer in pursuit of full maturity, taking advantage of the resilience of the estate's terroirs, and they have followed up with a brilliantly executed élevage that...

The Wine Independent, June 2025

The grand vin of Palmer is 45% Merlot, 51% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, and the yield was tiny this year, just 22 hl/ha. This takes just over 70% of the crop, and the élevage was in 50% new barrels for the...

Wine Spectator, January 2025

Expressive and well-delineated, with singed iris, ink and alder accents leading off, followed by dark currant, blackberry and black cherry paste flavors that are both lush and racy in feel. Warm paving stone and dark...

Finesse and elegance, typical of the great wines of Margaux, are the trademarks of Chateau Palmer. The unusual combination of grape varieties for a classified Left Bank wine–as much Merlot as Cabernet Sauvignon and a small amount of Petit Verdot–gives Chateau Palmer a bouquet of extraordinary complexity, with fruit, flowers, and spice wrapped in a fleshy and generous structure. The subtle balance between aromatic richness and powerful, yet always restrained, tannins makes Palmer charming even when very young.

The grapes are fermented separately by variety and plot in 54 conical, stainless steel vats. The wine then ages 18 to 21 months in French oak barrels, less than 50% new.

The 2022 Chateau Palmer is a Bordeaux Blend from the renowned Margaux region in France. This red wine is a true masterpiece, exhibiting elegance, complexity, and power. With a dark, radiating purple-black hue, it immediately captivates the senses. The bouquet is a symphony of floral aromas, including lilacs, violets, roses, and white flowers, intertwined with enticing notes of cinnamon and clove perfume.

On the palate, the wine is pure silk, showcasing a perfect balance between its salty minerality and the sweetness of black and red fruits. The texture is incredibly smooth and velvety, creating a luxurious mouthfeel. The fruits are pure and luscious, with both black and red varieties shining through. The wine lingers on the palate, with a refreshing mint note that holds your focus for over 50 seconds.

The 2022 Chateau Palmer is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot. The harvest for this vintage took place from September 7 to October 5, resulting in a wine of exceptional quality. The yields were low, at only 22 hectoliters per hectare, which contributed to the concentration and intensity of flavors.

Renowned wine critics have praised this wine, with scores ranging from 96 to 99 points. Jeff Leve describes it as a wine with extraordinary texture, length, and purity in the fruits. Jeb Dunnuck hails it as utterly brilliant and compares it to the outstanding 2018 vintage. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate declares it one of the most powerful wines ever produced by Chateau Palmer. James Suckling notes the wine's class and weightless density, while Jane Anson emphasizes its intense and concentrated flavors.

The 2022 Chateau Palmer is a wine that demands attention and promises to age gracefully. It can be enjoyed from 2027 and has the potential to cellar until 2065. This is a wine that exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of Chateau Palmer, and it is sure to leave a lasting impression on any wine enthusiast.
