Alter Ego de Palmer - Margaux 2019

Chateau Palmer, a Third Growth estate in the heart of the Margaux appellation, has consistently proven itself to be a standout Bordeaux producer, crafting wines that rival the famed First Growths of the region. The estate's consistent performance and high praise from critics have earned Chateau Palmer a reputation that far surpasses its initial standing on the Left Bank.

Chateau Palmer is among a select group of estates known as "Super Seconds," a title bestowed upon properties that consistently perform above their official 1855 classification. Liv-Ex, an international wine trade platform that ranks Bordeaux producers biennially based on the same standards used in 1855, places Chateau Palmer at the top of the Second Growth category, above other reputable chateaux such as Leoville-Las Cases and Cos d’Estournel. As a Third Growth, Chateau Palmer's status as a front-runner in this elite category is particularly impressive, surpassing the expectations set by its official ranking and overshadowing many of its Second Growth counterparts.

"Intense aromas of blackcurrants, cedar and ripe tobacco with hints of violets, following through to a full-bodied palate with extremely refined tannins that are well-integrated into the wine and are long and subtle at the finish. Such precision and harmony with structure. From biodynamically grown grapes." - 96 Points, James Suckling

"The second wine of Château Palmer, the 2019 Alter Ego De Palmer is rock-solid and reveals a dense purple hue as well as deep, rich, concentrated aromas and flavors of ripe black cherries, blackcurrants, tobacco, graphite, and chocolate. It might be the richest, most concentrated second wine out here, and truthfully, it tastes like a Grand Vin. Medium to full-bodied, layered, and textured, it has ripe tannins, a fleshy, mouth-filling texture, and a great finish. It's beautifully done." - 94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
