2011 Château Palmer Margaux Grand Cru Classé

The 2011 Palmer is a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon. Half a century after the legendary 1961 vintage, this year’s wine stood out for its extremely low yields, the result of hail and, in June, extreme heat. The concentrated result was both beautiful and unexpected, which should herald excellent ageing potential.

The concentrated result was both beautiful and unexpected, which should herald excellent ageing potential. Opaque garnet-purple in colour, it glides slowly from the glass with convincing notes of blueberry compote, warm cherries and hints of violets, cigar box, black tea, sandalwood and pepper. Full-bodied, deliciously rich, concentrated and bursting with energy. On the palate this top Palmer is full bodied with layer upon layer of black, blue and red fruit and framed by super ripe, incredibly fine grained tannins with an unparalleled finish.
