    Description

    A 3rd classified growth of Margaux, refined and of great finesse

    The property
    Third Grand Cru Classé in the Official Classification of 1855, Château Palmer is a true star of the Margaux appellation, on the left bank of the Bordeaux region. With a start in biodynamics in 2009, Château Palmer chose to convert the entire vineyard from 2014. After building its legend on vintages that have become mythical, Château Palmer continues to write its history under the direction of the talented Thomas Duroux.

    The vineyard
    Benefiting from an exceptional terroir located in the immediate vicinity of the Gironde estuary, this Margaux property has a rather unusual grape variety in Médoc, giving pride of place to merlot, which is alongside cabernet sauvignon in equal proportions (47%) associated with petit verdot (6%).

    Blend

    Merlot (47%), cabernet sauvignon (47%) and petit verdot (6%).

    Characteristics and tasting advice for Château Palmer 2016

    Tasting

    Color
    Very dark, almost ink-like color.


    Nose
    The nose is rich, very fragrant with a brilliant aromatic freshness on very concentrated black fruits (blackcurrant, wild blackberry, crushed raspberry). This fruit freshness is mixed with olfactory tension that gives this Margaux wine, depth and subtlety.

    Palate
    The palate is precise on the attack with a clear, frank acidity. The mid-palate delicately caresses the palate with refined tannins, of a very fine grain causing a creamy sensation. The weight of the wine is impressive even if the wine is suave and caressing at the level of the tannins. The finish is sapid, fruity, long suggesting a very important aging potential. The whole is of an incredible drinkability at this stage of aging and of a perfect balance.
