Located within the Margaux appellation, Château Palmer was formerly a part of the d`Issan estate and derives its name from Major General Charles Palmer of the British Army, who acquired the property in 1814. Uncommon for the Médoc, Château Palmer typically incorporates an equal measure of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in its blend, complemented by a touch of Petit Verdot. The 2002 vintage remains youthful and untamed, yet its vibrant acidity, fresh fruit, and impressive tension create an exceptionally appealing framework. Expect notes of espresso, red and dark cherry, herbal complexity of tea and dried herbs, all of which topped off by pencil shavings.
