Château Palmer is named after a British officer, Major General Palmer, who settled in Bordeaux in 1814. It is the top estate of the Margaux appellation after Château Margaux. It is located in the centre of the Margaux appellation near Château Margaux. Its vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 55%, Merlot 40%, Cabernet Franc 5%) lie on a sparse gravel plateau. Palmer is classified as a 3ème Cru Classé in 1855 and was established as a Super Second long before Léoville Las Cases, Ducru-Beaucaillou and Pichon-Lalande. Palmer's relatively Merlot dominated blend makes the estate the closest in style of any leading Médoc properties to the great wines of Pomerol and St-Emilion.
This is the most recent tasting note from August 2014:
It was remarkably fresh. There were some leather, moss and compost aromas that indicated some age but it was also really crisp and bright with energetic briary fruits in the mouth. It was relatively full with good complexity and a perfume that gained in intensity the more time it spent in the glass. There was still decent grip to the finish.
A spectacular 60th anniversary present for next year.
