Château PALMER
3ème grand cru classé

Palmer, a Cru apart from the Margaux, delivers an original interpretation of the appellation with wines that are always charming, melting and voluptuous, which explains its 50% Merlot grape variety.

La Revue du Vin de France : 97-98/100 « Le château a produit 5 000 caisses du grand vin en 2024. C’est un Palmer extrêmement séduisant, structuré, au fruit explosif. L’assemblage contient un peu plus de cabernet qu’à l’habitude, ce qui le rend très séveux, vertical, tendu, mais aussi diablement juteux et ultra précis dans ses contours. Un des vins les plus complets du millésime. »

Vinous (N. Martin): 94-96/100 "The 2024 Palmer is aged in 50% new oak for the first few months before it is transferred into 3,000-liter foudres. There is quite a stylistic difference between the Palmer and Alter Ego on the nose: this is more sensual and displays more fruit concentration. Blackberry, blueberry, slate and light graphite scents unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and less voluptuous than recent vintages with an uncommon sense of symmetry, finely chiselled tannins and impressive tension on the slightly peppery finish. Excellent."

Vinous (A. Galloni): 94-97/100 "The 2024 Palmer is wonderfully vivid and expressive. Strong Cabernet Sauvignon inflections make a strong first impression. Blue/Purplish fruit, gravel, lavender, incense, licorice and dried herbs all jump from the glass. I imagine the 2024 will drink well on release, which is uncharacteristic for young Palmer. Readers will find a gorgeous wine with tons of character and pedigree to burn. Palmer remains one of the most distinctive wines in all of Bordeaux."

Bettane & Desseauve : 95/100 « Belle chair, tannin harmonieux, sensuel, grande longueur avec de l’éclat et un caractère terrien affirmé. »

Le Point : 17.5/20 "Zan a la violette, bouche délicate, réglisse, tanins soyeux, élégant, tendu, finale relevée. De la vivacité et du volume, belle réussite, joli vin."
