Château Palmer

Château Palmer is a third growth (3ème Cru Classé) property located in the centre of the Margaux appellation on a sparse gravel plateau. After Chateau Margaux itself, Chateau Palmer is considered to be one of the top estates of Margaux and is described as a super second’. The estate has 55 hectares of vineyards planted to 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. Chateau Palmer's relatively high Merlot content in the Grand Vin makes it appear similar in style and structure to the great wines of Pomerol and St-Emilion. A second wine called Alter Ego is also produced.
