The 2016 Palmer is a blend of 47% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot. Opaque garnet-purple colored, it slowly slips out of the glass with convincing notes of blueberry compote, warm cherries and notes of violets, cigar box, black tea, sandalwood and pepper. Full bodied, wonderfully rich, concentrated and full of energy. On the palate this top is Palmer full buddish with low to low black, blue and red fruit and framed by super ripe, incredibly fine-grained tannins with an unprecedented aftertaste. The review in the Wine Advocate ends with: "This is so wonderfully Palmer."

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze 2016 Château Palmer toont een rijk maar elegant smaakpalet van zwarte en blauwe vruchten zoals cassis en bosbessen, bloemige viooltjes en kersenlikeur, aangevuld met subtiele kruidigheid, sigarenkist, zwarte thee en een fijne, zijdeachtige tanninestructuur die uitmondt in een indrukwekkend lange afdronk. Daardoor sluit de wijn prachtig aan bij rundvlees, lam, gevogelte en wild omdat de geconcentreerde fruittonen en rijpe tannines vet en umami uit gerechten balanceren en de florale en kruidige nuances contact maken met paddenstoelen, truffel en geroosterd vlees; bij kazen geeft de lengte en complexiteit tegenwicht aan rijke, gerijpte smaken. Bereidingswijzen die extra goed werken zijn korte, hete bereidingen zoals een goed gegrilde tournedos of pan‑seared eendenborst, langzaam gegaarde lamsrack of hert met een reducerende rode wijnjus en gerechten met morilles of zwarte truffel die de bloemige en aardse tonen van de wijn versterken. |

Interim End of November 2018, The Wine Advocate
The 2016 Palmer is a blend of 47% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot. Opaque garnet-purple colored, it slowly glides out of the glass with compelling notes of blueberry compote, warm cassis and kirsch with emerging hints of violets, cigar box, black tea, sandalwood and Sichuan pepper. Medium to full-bodied, wonderfully rich, concentrated and packed with latent energy, the palate literally grows in the mouth, revealing layer upon layer of black, blue and red fruits and tons of floral sparks, framed by super ripe, incredibly fine-grained tannins and finishing with epic length. It’s a wine that makes you wanna drape yourself languidly over a chaise lounge, glass of Palmer in hand, sighing with deep satisfaction, “This is so wonderfully Palmer.”
“We had 2009 and 2010, we’ll have 2015 and 2016,” Palmer’s CEO Thomas Duroux told me, alluding to the comparisons being made throughout Bordeaux to the last great pair of vintages. “But of course,” he added, “they are two very different expressions.” There was some mildew pressure at Palmer in 2016, which is a larger problem at organic/biodynamically managed estates such as this. Subsequently, the crop was a relatively modest 29 hectoliters per hectare, down from an average of say 35 hectoliters per hectare. “It was a milder summer, not too much heat,” Duroux further observed. “So there was not too much alcohol this year and nothing jammy.”

I wrote that the 2015 was incredible, and this 2016 is again. It’s equally structured and powerful as the 2015, yet there’s an underlying intellectual serenity to this wine. You taste it, and you want to know and experience it even more. Full and tannic yet ever so polished and beautiful. Mesmerizing. Made from biodynamically grown grapes.

From: 2016 Bordeaux…It’s All In The Bottle (Jan 2019)
Technical Director Thomas Duroux and his team made one of the most brilliant wines of the 2016 vintage. Palmer is simply exceptional. Rich and dramatically sweeping in the glass, the 2016 is breathtaking. All the elements simply fall into place in a wine of mesmerizing beauty. The counterpoint of dark, sumptuous fruit and floral notes makes for an utterly compelling Palmer that will take its place among the estate's finest vintages. Dark cherry, lavender, spice and mocha are some of the many notes that build into a deep, substantial finish that is truly unforgettable. In a word: magnificent!

Château Palmer is located in the heart of the Margaux appellation in the Bordeaux wine region. The 66 hectares of vineyards have a gravel soil and the vines overlook the Gironde River. The area with its rich ancient history and nourishing microclimate is a fantastic environment for the vines. Here they can flourish and grow under the passionate care of the people of Château Palmer. Behind every great wine is a great terroir. This is also the case at Château Palmer, which is located on a long strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gironde. The land is well drained, rich in the deposits of the Garonne and Dordogne rivers. It is difficult soil for agriculture, but exceptional for grapes. Of course, the vines also need good care in order to perform optimally. And that is certainly entrusted to the employees of Château Palmer! Full of passion and love for the vines, they cultivate the demanding terroir. The people of this winery are more than just colleagues. Together they embrace the common core values of Château Palmer and are therefore extremely dynamic, curious, passionate, open-minded and determined. In short, they live for and with the vineyards.
