Château Palmer: from the same philosophy, so many expressions of a terroir. Over time, these homages to the surrounding nature and the heritage of Château Palmer resonate. Not forcefully; but all in finesse, in elegance.

97 100Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateThis sensational Palmer reveals even more floral notes than vintages such as 2005 and 2000. It should drink well for 50 years. (Robert Parker)

95 100Wine SpectatorThis is on another level from most in the appellation, with gorgeous layers of warm currant jam, smoldering tobacco, licorice snap, warm paving stone and anise all framed by tarry but integrated grip. Stays sleek and well-defined through the finish. Should age beautifully. Best from 2015 through 2030.
A beautiful dark purple with black reflections.
Intense aromas of morello cherries, redcurrants, spices and red berries, coated with scents of iris and black pepper.
Fresh and fruity, dense, lively and powerful, with a beautiful aromatic persistence. Long, complex and tasty finish.
Grilled filet mignon, lamb baron, roast poultry, hunting specialties (bison), brie, camembert.
Serving temperature: 16 - 18°C
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.
Aging for 20 months in oak barrels, 50 to 60% of which is new wood. This aging in barrels aims to make the wine mature while allowing its style to express itself.
