The 2023 Chateau Palmer Margaux is a blend of 46% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot and has a deep garnet purple color. The Palmer has a very serious nose of pronounced savory blackcurrants, warm plums, and blackberries with hints of cedar chestnut, pencil shavings, violets, dark chocolate, and star anise, plus exotic notes of sandalwood. Medium-bodied, the palate is fantastically vibrant, with crisp black fruit and a firm texture of ripe, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, followed by a very long, minerally finish. It will certainly need 5-7 years to truly blossom, but then it will be a real star. Its aging potential is also excellent, extending to 2060+ years. The 2023 Palmer received a 100-point rating from Vinous and is considered one of the best wines of the 2023 Bordeaux vintage.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2023 Château Palmer opent met een diepgranaat paarse kleur en presenteert uitgesproken zwarte bessen, warme pruimen en braambessen, omlijst door ceder, potloodkrullen, viooltjes, pure chocolade, steranijs en een zijdeachtige, mineraalrijke afdronk met rijpe, korrelige tannines en verfrissende levendigheid. Door die stevige tannines en sappige zuurgraad snijdt de wijn prachtig door vet en umami, waardoor hij ideaal samengaat met gegrild of geroosterd rundvlees en lamsvlees, stijlvolle charcuterie en gerijpte kazen; het beste wordt hij benadrukt bij gegrilde entrecote of lamsrack met rozemarijn en knoflook, langzaam geroosterd vlees of een krachtige kaasplank met oude cheddar of Comté.

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.
