Neal Martin for Robert Parker

Deep garnet-purple coloured, the 2016 Alter Ego de Palmer opens with wonderfully expressive aromas of black cherries, fresh blackberries and redcurrants, as well as hints of menthol, dark chocolate, cloves and undergrowth. Medium to full-bodied with a rich mid-palate and stacks of luscious black and red fruits, it has a velvety texture and a fantastic long finish.

Today, Château Palmer is considered one of the leading Grand Crus of the famous Margaux appellation.Complex wines are produced here, elegant, refined, delicate, with a subtle and velvety texture. They magnificently express the exceptional terroir of the vineyards with their barren gravel soils.

Château Palmer began converting to sustainable viticulture in 2008 andimpresseddespite the considerable climatic challenges of recent yearswith world-class wines.

The winery's cuvée is carefully composed from the best plots and grape varieties and reflects the region's terroir with its mixture of gravel and clay soil.

In addition to their flagship wine, the estate also produces second wines such as Alter Ego de Palmer, which offer a more accessible option for earlier enjoyment. With a rich history and an unwavering commitment to quality, Château Palmer is synonymous with Bordeaux wine excellence.
