Description
Sadly, there is only very small production of Alter Ego de Palmer this year, but it is really worth seeking this one out as it is, once again, absolutely fabulous. Wonderful, fresh, crunchy red fruits that are so juicy and compelling make you want to drink it from the barrel now. Forget about all this ageing malarkey! Displaying beautifully brilliant balance, it kicks many other châteaux’s Grand Vin’s into the cheap seats.

About this wine
Château Palmer
Château Palmer is a leading wine estate in Margaux. Within its appellation, Palmer is certainly the closest rival to its first growth neighbor, Ch. Margaux. Although officially ranked a Third Growth, at their best, the wines of Ch. Palmer are among the greatest anywhere in Bordeaux.

Margaux
If Pauillac is the bastion of ‘traditional’ Red Bordeaux, Margaux represents its other facet in producing wines that are some of the region’s most sensual and alluring. The largest commune in the Médoc, it encompasses the communes of Cantenac, Soussans, Arsac and Labaude, in addition to the village of Margaux itself. Its finest examples are paragons of refinement and subtlety which have few parallels in Bordeaux.
