    In a few words ...

    One of the finest estates in the Margaux appellation, Château Palmer has also stood out since 2009 for its conversion to biodynamic viticulture, under the impetus of director Thomas Duroux, who is aiming for certification of the entire vineyard in 2018.

    Tasting notes

    Appearance

    Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.

    Aroma

    For the Margaux appellation, we find black fruits, such as blackcurrant or blackcurrant, sometimes cooked, and an empyreumatic that gives off aromas of roasted coffee or licorice.

    Wine Empyreumatic | Fruity | Roasted

    Taste

    On the palate the best Margaux are those who have perfectly integrated their tannins in their structure, giving roundness. We find the aromas of the nose namely black fruits and tertiary flavors such as leather, vanilla.

    Wine Fruity | Long
