2023 Château Palmer, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon; 46% Merlot; 4% Petit Verdot.

Thomas Duroux identified the third week of August as the vintage’s defining moment – when hot weather kick-started final maturation. In the first week of September, ideal harvest conditions arrived. The team decided to pick later than some, with Merlots in mid-September, and Cabernets late September to early October.

This powerful, compelling wine has lustrously smooth tannins. It is full of exotic fruit and heady incense notes of flower and earth. Traditional barriques will be used for the first year (55% new) and larger 30hl casks for the second, meaning less oxygenation and tighter, fresher fruit.

Margaux

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.
