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.

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.
