End of March 2021, The Wine Advocate
The 2018 Palmer is composed of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot. The wine has a 3.83 pH and 14.3% alcohol. Very deep garnet-purple in color, it explodes from the glass with atomic scents of blackberry preserves, crème de cassis and blueberry pie, plus suggestions of red roses, clove oil, dark chocolate and cedar chest with hints of Chinese five spice and menthol. The full-bodied palate is decadently styled, offering layer upon layer of black fruit preserves and exotic spices, framed by exquisitely plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing wonderfully fragrant and with epic length. It's an amazingly beautiful beast of a wine—one for the hedonists!

April 2019 Week 4 - Bordeaux 2018, The Wine Advocate
The 2018 Palmer is composed of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot. Grapes were harvested September 13 to October 15, and the wine has a 3.83 pH and 14.3% alcohol. Very deep purple-black in color, the nose is a little reticent to begin, but with coaxing, it slowly emerges to show fragrant violets, underbrush, mossy bark and iron ore with exponentially growing notions of crème de cassis, Black Forest cake, plum preserves, hoisin, Christmas cake and red roses with wafts of dusty earth, Indian spices and cracked black pepper. Full-bodied, concentrated and downright powerful in the mouth, it has a solid structure of firm, wonderfully plush tannins and masses of fragrant accents, finishing very long and very spicy. By the time I finished tasting this, the nose had exploded in this fragrant bomb of fruit, earth and floral notions. This is one of those 2018 wines that has a beguiling brightness that comes from the many floral, spice and mineral accents among all that rich fruit. WOW!
With yields of just 11 hectoliters per hectare, Château Palmer produced only about one-third of a normal crop. There will only be around 6,000 cases of 2018 Palmer. There will be no second wine this year. “But,” Technical Director Thomas Duroux said, looking on the bright side, “in 1961 we did just 12 hectoliters per hectare.”
The problem was mildew during the early part of the growing season. It didn’t help that Palmer is committed to organic/biodynamic viticulture, which in the end was simply not enough to stave off the final wave of mildew infection that struck after the July 4th rains. “Mildew was so aggressive this year,” Duroux sighed. “Even after the bunch closure, the mildew continued. It was very difficult to manage—there are no rules.”
Fortunately, the weather turned dry and warm soon after this, offering optimum conditions for ripening the remainder of the crop. “I’ve never seen in my career such concentration and such depth in the ripening berries. Our decision was to take our time. A very important factor was to harvest each parcel at perfect phenolic ripeness. It took us over a month to harvest just 600 hectoliters!”
Duroux finished our discussion by saying this about the winemaking: “We had to be very gentle with extraction. The IPT in 2010—a tannic vintage—was 65. This year it was 85. This is the most powerful Palmer ever.”
The result is simply jaw dropping. My perfume award for 2018 goes to Palmer.

Wijnhuis
Château Palmer ligt in het hart van de appellatie Margaux in de wijnregio Bordeaux. De 66 hectare wijngaarden hebben een grindbodem en de wijnstokken kijken uit op de rivier de Gironde. Het gebied met zijn rijke oude geschiedenis met het voedende microklimaat is een fantastische omgeving voor de wijnstokken. Hier kunnen ze bloeien en groeien onder de passievolle zorg van de mannen en vrouwen van Château Palmer. Achter elke geweldige wijn zit een geweldig terroir. Zo ook bij Château Palmer die gelegen is op een lange strook land gelegen tussen de Atlantische Oceaan en de Gironde. Het land is goed gedraineerd, rijk aan de afzettingen van de rivieren de Garonne en de Dordogne. Het is moeilijke grond voor landbouw, maar uitzonderlijk voor druiven. Uiteraard hebben de wijnstokken ook goede verzorging nodig om optimaal te kunnen presteren. En dat is de medewerkers van Château Palmer zeker toevertrouwd! Vol passie en liefde voor de wijnstokken bewerken ze het veeleisende terroir. De mannen en vrouwen van dit wijnhuis zijn meer dan alleen maar collega’s. Met elkaar omarmen ze de gemeenschappelijke kernwaarden van Château Palmer en zijn ze dus uitermate dynamisch, nieuwsgierig, gepassioneerd, ruimdenkend en vastberaden. Kortom, ze leven voor en met de wijngaarden.
