Merchant's description

Alter Ego de Château Palmer is made using the same meticulous attention to detail and care as the estate`s flagship wine. It is typically a more approachable expression, with a focus on fruitiness and freshness, meant to be enjoyed earlier than the Grand Vin. The 2020 vintage is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. A generously fruit-driven and lively wine, with remarkable freshness, ripe tannins and a satisfying finish.
