95 100Yves Beck53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot The bouquet is beautifully intense, with floral and fruity notes of peony and ripe black berries. Slightly creamy on the palate, the wine combines freshness and power. It gains in breadth as it progresses, with the precious support of its tannins and acidity. A wine that is incisive, fresh, precise and persistent! 2028-2043

The Château Palmer vineyard covers 55 hectares spread over the sheep hills of the commune of Cantenac. Most of the plots are concentrated on a plateau of lean gravel from the Güntz era, located at the top of the ridges of the Margaux appellation.
The grapes having arrived at the cellar at temperatures a little higher than normal, it was necessary to cool the harvest. These efforts were rewarded since the tastings revealed batches of very high quality distinguished by their freshness, density and finesse.
