The 2020 Chateau Palmer Margaux is a blend of 48% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot and has a deep garnet purple color. The 2020 Palmer has a very serious nose of distinctly savory blackcurrants, warm plums and blackberries with hints of cedar brisket, pencil shavings, violets, dark chocolate and star anise plus exotic notes of sandalwood. Medium-bodied, the palate is fantastically vibrant, crisp black fruit with a firm texture of ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, very long and minerally finish. It needs at least 5-7 years to really blossom, but then it is a stunner. The storage potential is also great until 2060+

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2020 Château Palmer toont een diepe, granaatpaarse kleur en een complex smaakpalet van knapperig zwart fruit zoals zwarte bessen en pruimen, aangevuld met cederhout, viooltjes, pure chocolade, steranijs en een mineralige, frisse afdronk met rijpe, korrelige tannines. Door die stevige tanninestructuur, frisse zuurheid en hartige kruidigheid vormt hij een perfecte tegenhanger voor rijk vlees; hij snijdt door het vet van rundvlees en lam, versterkt de wildsmaak en harmoniseert prachtig met de geconcentreerde sauzen van stoofschotels. Voor het beste resultaat kies voor geroosterd of gegrild vlees met een knapperige korst, langzaam gegaard en gestoofd vlees met een rijke jus of wild bereid met jeneverbessen en herfstkruiden, dan komen zowel de wijn als het gerecht optimaal tot hun recht. |

Aromas of raspberries, cassis and cherries mingle with hints of violets, raw cocoa and hints of truffle in a perfumed bouquet. The 2020 Palmer is a full-bodied, layered and seamless wine that's deep and concentrated, with a vibrant core of beautifully pure and perfumed fruit, lively acids and ultra-refined tannins. This suave but authoritative Palmer is one of the high points of the vintage.
Thomas Duroux continues to produce singularly textural, powerful wines at this historic Margaux property, where he has introduced a new focus on parcel-by-parcel viticulture and vinification, as well as pioneering biodynamic methods, over the better part of the last two decades. Today, cover crops are the order of the day, much of the vineyard isn't hedged, and fruit trees are being planted in the rows as part of an agroforestry initiative. The core of Palmer derives from the plateau around the château, where soils consist of a millefeuille of sandy gravel, clay-rich gravel, sandy gravel again and then a meter of pure clay. It's old-vine Merlot, planted on these soils, that lends Palmer its richness and flesh. There are other parcels dotted around the appellation, of course, including a large block of coarser gravel surrounded by trees, not far from Bel Air Marquis d'Aligre.

Great aromas of blackcurrants, black truffles, blueberries, lead pencil and hints of cedar. Full-bodied and powerful with fantastic tannin backbone giving it great length and power. Muscular. Toned. Flexing. This needs time. Best after 2028.

From: Bordeaux 2020: Saving the Best for Last (Feb 2023)
The 2020 Palmer is exceptional. Soft, seamless and ample, the Grand Vin caresses the palate with stunning depth and intensity. Super-ripe black cherry, licorice, cloves, menthol and chocolate meld together in the glass. As always, Palmer is made from blocks on gravelly/clay soils (as opposed to the more gravelly/sandy soils for Alter Ego) which gives the wines the breadth and creaminess to match its exotic personality. There is a restrained exuberance here that is so appealing.

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.
