Behind every great wine there is a great terroir. This is also the case with Château Palmer, which is located on a long strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gironde estuary. The land is well drained, rich in the deposits of the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, but washed clean of organic matter. It is difficult soil for agriculture, but exceptional for grape growing. Naturally, the vines also need good care to perform optimally. And the employees of Château Palmer are certainly entrusted with that! They work the demanding terroir with passion and love for the vines. The men and women 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.

The 2023 Palmer Alter Ego from Château Palmer from Margaux is composed of 43% Merlot, 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot. The Alter Ego is deep garnet purple in color and emerges from the glass with vibrant black raspberries, black cherries and crushed blackcurrants, plus hints of black and white pepper, menthol, pencil and cardamom. Medium-bodied, very elegant for a Margaux. The palate is charged with energy, with expressive, bright black fruit and firm, fine-grained tannins, which finish long and lively. It certainly does not need as many years as its big brother before it can be drunk and can certainly be kept in the cellar until 2048.
