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 small proportion of Petit Verdot. Château Palmer is a Third Growth estate committed to organic and biodynamic practices since 2017. The 2004 vintage is noted for its robust structure, featuring prominent flavours of black fruit, subtle spices, and earthy undertones. This magnum offers an opportunity to explore the evolution of a classic Bordeaux, reflecting the unique terroir of its origins.
