Merchant's description
First released in 1998, Alter Ego de Palmer is the second wine of Margaux Third Growth, Château Palmer. It was created to be as equally terroir-driven and expressive as the grand vin, but would be supple, rounded and more approachable in youth. The 2019 is a blend of 51% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Petit Verdot.
