Alter Ego de Palmer 2019 (by Chateau Palmer) - 6 Litre Bottle
Produced in France, Alter Ego de Palmer 2019 is a distinguished expression of the Margaux appellation in Bordeaux. Produced by Chateau Palmer, a historic Third Growth estate, this wine is not considered a traditional 'second wine' but rather a separate label created from its own distinct vineyard plots. The estate is managed by Thomas Duroux and operates under a 100% biodynamic winemaking philosophy that views the vineyard as a holistic ecosystem.
Wine Description
This 2019 vintage displays a dense garnet purple colour and a profound, explosive aromatic profile. The nose features intense aromas of blackcurrants, crème de cassis, and ripe black cherries, layered with floral notes of violets, lavender, and field spring flowers, alongside subtle hints of cedar, tobacco, and star anise. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied and fleshy, showcasing a lush, mouth filling texture and extremely refined, melting tannins. It is characterized by precision, harmony, and a vibrant, long finish. The varietal composition is typically a blend of approximately 51% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 9% Petit Verdot. This wine is designed to be approachable in its youth while maintaining an optimal drinking window from 2024 through 2038.
