Château Palmer

Margaux – Bordeaux – France

We begin this term’s series of French tastings with Château Palmer, a 3ème Grand Cru classé from Margaux. Named after a British officer, Major General Palmer who owned the estate in the early 18th century, the reputation of this estate has grown ever since and it now commands the status of a Super Second. Somewhat unusual for its higher Merlot content for a Left bank wine, Château Palmer has successfully differentiated itself from other producers, with some vintages besting their 1ier Grand Cru neighbour… Join us in exploring the of work of this classic Bordeaux producer!
