This exceptional red originates from the Margaux appellation in Bordeaux, France. The estate’s history began in 1814 when Major General Charles Palmer purchased the property, eventually tripling its size to include some of the finest terroirs in the region. Today, under the direction of Thomas Duroux, the winery is owned by the Mahler Besse and Sichel families and is renowned for its commitment to biodiversity, having fully transitioned to biodynamic farming in 2014.

Wine Description

Chateau Palmer presents a deep ruby and purple tinged colour, opening with a rich, opulent bouquet of blackcurrants, black cherries, and chocolate, layered with hints of graphite, tobacco, and pencil box. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied and beautifully concentrated, offering a silky, caressing texture with notes of bramble, plum, and exotic spices.
