Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru Classe Margaux

Chateau Palmer ALTER EGO DE PALMER Margaux from France, Bordeaux, Margaux by Chateau Palmer Margaux (12 x 75 cl)

Available in Magnum bottles. The Palmer estate was created in the early 19th century by General Palmer, with the Pereire family building the present Chateau around 1856. The property now belongs to French, English and Dutch families. The perfect synergy between the soils and grape varieties explains Chateau Palmer's exquisite finesse. The grapes are picked only when very ripe and are carefully sorted in the vineyard so that only the ripest, healthiest ones go to be crushed. Merlot brings roundness and fruitiness, Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure, length and elegance while Petit Verdot imparts colour and body which all contributes to the end wine. Stainless steel tanks in the traditional truncated cone shape are ideal for extracting fruit and tannin. During blending, only the best vats are retained to be sold under the prestigious name of Chateau Palmer. Oak barrels . Gunzian gravel . "An outstanding success for the vintage...This is a layered, concentrated, yet surprisingly velvety-textured Palmer..." Parker, . The growing season was complimented by an extraordinarily fine summer. Very hot and dry in August with relatively few grapes on the vines. The fruit was very ripe by mid-September, both in terms of sugar and phenolic maturity. The incessant rain that followed slightly diluted sugar levels, without affecting the phenolic compounds or the quality of the grapes. The tannin was easy to extract during fermentation. The three grape varieties combined to provide excellent structure, while maintaining Palmer's legendary elegance. The blend consists of 52% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot. Deep, dark colour, which does not yet show any sign of age. The bouquet has become more complex and concentrated. with hints of black fruit, spice, tobacco, leather, prune, and vanilla. Powerful, concentrated, and elegant, with impressive structure, length, and tannins. Everything seems to indicate that this wine will age beautifully. Available in Original Wooden Case. (12 x 75 cl)

"An outstanding success for the vintage...This is a layered, concentrated, yet surprisingly velvety-textured Palmer..." Parker, . The growth cycle got off to a good start in March after an especially mild and wet winter. Fortunately, the fairly cool weather in April eliminated the risk of mildew. Thanks to mild, very dry weather, flowering took place quickly and evenly in May and June, mid-flowering on June 2nd. After a cool and particularly rainy month of July, the véraison occured without any problems before a major storm hit on August 15th . The month of August was hot, but not excessively so. It was once again cool in September . The grapes were ideally ripe and healthy on the eve of the harvest. Sugar levels were high (12 x 75 cl)
