Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The Grand Vin 2022 Château Palmer is based on 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, from tiny yields of 22 hectoliters per hectare. It's a deep, unctuous, fabulously textured 2022 that does everything right. Ripe blackcurrants, blueberries, liquid violets, and freshly sharpened pencil notes define the aromatics, and it's full-bodied, with a pure, layered, seamless mouthfeel, a remarkable floral character, and a great finish. It's a ripe, opulent, incredibly sexy Palmer that will benefit from a decade of bottle age and evolve gracefully over the following 30-40 years.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Château Palmer, a prestigious representative of the Margaux appellation, is an essential benchmark among the great wines of Bordeaux. Its name recalls General Palmer, a British officer who fell under the spell of this exceptional terroir at the beginning of the 19th century. The Sichel and Mälher-Besse families, the owners, passionately perpetuate the tradition of excellence of this *cru classé*, which is often considered a "second" growth due to its exceptionally high quality. Under the leadership of Thomas Duroux, Château Palmer strives to reveal the purest expression of its Margaux terroir. The wines are distinguished by their velvety texture, complex aromatic bouquet, and their ability to combine immediate drinkability with longevity. The grand vin, Château Palmer, offers superb refinement and harmony, while Alter Ego de Palmer provides a more modern interpretation of the same terroir. Notably, Château Palmer was among the pioneers of biodynamics in the Médoc, a philosophy that contributes to the uniqueness of its wines. The estate notably works with appellations such as Troisièmes Crus, which consistently extend its signature style. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Château Palmer, Château Palmer Alter Ego de Palmer, and Château Palmer Historical XIXth Century Wine—useful benchmarks for understanding the identity of the estate.
