Château Palmer — estate
The estate

Named for the English major general who bought the estate in 1814, Château Palmer stands with the First Growths in all but rank. Its plateau of thin gravel over clay in Margaux, planted nearly half to Merlot, yields a wine of unusual opulence for the Médoc — black-fruited, velvety, and deeply perfumed — alongside Alter Ego, a suppler expression of the same terroir. Under Thomas Duroux the estate converted fully to biodynamics, an audacious move at classified-growth scale that has only sharpened the wine's aromatic lift and savor.
