A grand cru is a matter of origin in time as in space. The Château Palmer style is embedded in history and dedicated to the expression of its terroir. It is a style beyond fashion and trends. To experience its timelessness, there is no better way read more...than to taste it. Again and again.

Finesse and elegance, typical of the great wines of Margaux, are the permanent trademarks of Château Palmer, characterized by the softness and refinement of silk, the warmth of velvet, and the leather of noblesse. The unusual combination of grape varieties – as much Merlot as Cabernet Sauvignon and a small amount of Petit Verdot – gives Château Palmer a bouquet of extraordinary complexity, with fruit, flowers, and spice wrapped in a fleshy and generous structure. The subtle balance between aromatic richness and powerful yet always restrained tannins makes Palmer a wine of incomparable charm, even when very young. Its length leaves the persistent memory of a heady mix of sensations and emotions.

Long barrel ageing is essential for Château Palmer to give full expression to its gravely soil and reveal all its body and flesh. This ageing continues very slowly for many years and even decades in the bottle. Your patience will be generously rewarded when you taste an old vintage. It exudes a particularly rich and complex aromatic finish, sometimes exotic, always unforgettable.

Wine tasting is a meeting of two living bodies as they surrender to each other, the human being and the wine. Tasters always have expectations from the wine they choose: good wines meet them; Château Palmer exceeds them.    (hide)

So DIS, is your interest coincidental, or was Philip asking in the first place as your proxy? I also like Bordeaux reds, very much, and have stored them, and California reds, and the odd dessert white (sauternes and...

Very nice margaux. I am glad they poured the 1996 at the Wine Spectator Grand Tour. It seemed to be the right time. This was 40% merlot, 55% cab and the balance was cab franc and petit verdot.

Just saw this thread and haven't yet read every reply so apologies for any redundancy. Your '83 Palmer, if you haven't drunk it already, will last for quite awhile. '83 is an underrated vintage, due to its proximity to...

Wait another year, maybe two. Decant and let breathe well, but sample now and then as the changes are most enjoyable. Had this with a very rare wagyu tenderloin and a risotto and grilled asparagus spears.

We are available for the Chateauneuf du Pape region by way of Bordeaux next ... of the wine bottles is at Chateau Palmer-so it's in the wrong place. I don't think it matters much really, one bottle is much like another eh
