99 100Jean-Marc QuarinCouleur noire. Nez intense, fin, fruité et subtil. Nuances de mûres, de myrtilles, sur un fond de vanille et de fruits cuits au chaudron. Ultra charnu en entrée de bouche, avec un déroulé moelleux et un fruité éclatant, riche en saveurs, le vin évolue caressant avant de gagner de la trame dans la persistance. Endroit où il devient plus frais, plus floral sur un fond fruité noir très paradoxal. Incrachable ! Assemblage : 55 % Merlot, 41 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 4 % Petit Verdot. Degré d'alcool : 13°5 - pH : 3,70. Rendement : 20 hl/ha. A consommer de préférence entre 2037 et 2100. Avril 2026.

98 100Wine AdvocateOne of the most refined and seamless wines of the vintage is the 2025 Palmer, a blend of 55% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot that wafts from the glass with aromas of sweet blackberries, plums and licorice complemented by floral accents of violet and wisteria (yes, the window of the tasting room was closed). Full-bodied, suave and layered, with a deep and concentrated core of fruit, bright acids and supple tannins, it's already harmonious and complete, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. At only 13.5% alcohol, this is quite a bit lower than most recent sunny vintages at Palmer. William Kelley. April 2026.

97 100DecanterStrongly perfumed aromatics, really quite intense and upfront, so expressive but more deep and seductive with heady scents of roses and blackcurrants. Instantly alive in the mouth, there’s an energy here that’s really captivating. Chewy, succulent, light on its feel but packing so many tannins yet it feels seamless. Aerial almost but there’s complexity with a fine layer of chewiness and chalkiness. Perhaps more delicate in some ways than other more plush Palmers but there’s power for sure wrapped up in freshness and approachability. Sturdy, stately, complex. I do love the darker, maybe more firm, edgy wine. Quite a compelling Palmer for me, more than just fruit and acidity. 14% press wine. 85 IPT. Harvest September 4–26. Drinking window: 2034 - 2050. Georgina Hindle. April 2026.

99 100Yves BeckLe bouquet de Palmer se révèle avec l’élégance qu’on lui connaît au travers de parfums de groseilles et de violettes, suivis de nuances d’écorces d’orange, de poivre de Sichuan et de réglisse. Onctueux en attaque, le vin entame un cheminement élégant et subtil. Il mise sur la finesse tout en profitant de tannins qui lui donnent vigueur et ampleur, soutenus par une acidité incisive et salivante apportant de la fraîcheur. Un Palmer qui souligne son identité, son unicité, son désir de briller par sa délicatesse, sa grâce, sa sérénité et son humilité. Il sait qu’il est grand, mais il laisse chacun parvenir à cette conclusion. Quand la finesse se place au-dessus de la puissance, la grandeur n’est plus à démontrer ! 2030-2060. 98-100/100. Avril 2026.

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.
