Château Palmer, 3e cru classé Margaux 2022 En Primeur - Case of 6



£1,788.00


A big, long-term prospect with gutsy tannin, almost over-ripe but chock full of ripe damson fruit that needs the grip to work. Plenty of alcohol but balanced by the quality of fine tannin and density of fruit. Impressive, if powerful and somewhat atypical. 5-15 years.

Château Palmer

The château was first acquired under the name of Château de Gascq by a General Charles Palmer in 1814 on his way back from Spain after serving under the Duke of Wellington.

After all his work expanding the estate to some 163 hectares in which the estate was renamed to Château Palmer, he sadly went bankrupt and was forced out by the bank. A consortium of local families, including the Sichel, bought it in the early 1900s. Palmer is traditionally made, and regularly one of Bordeaux's greatest wines, offering up wonderful fragrances and a rich, supple, complex fruity palate. The property is working towards organic and biodynamic certification.

About En Primeur

Lying Abroad/En Primeur/In Bond Wines

Wines offered ‘Lying Abroad’ or ‘En Primeur’ provide a good way to secure some of the most sought after wines at opening prices. In addition we ensure it is the cheapest way to buy favourite mid-priced wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône, so please ask us for our offers or check our website for latest reports. Prices are clearly marked in our sales literature and are exclusive of duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT. Shipment of claret and Port normally takes place around 30 months after the vintage, burgundy and Rhône usually more quickly. A second invoice for the duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT on the value of the wine is charged at the time of shipment - view current duty rates. There are no further charges for deliveries to a UK mainland home or work address. Your Lying Abroad purchases are covered under The Bunch Code of Practice which can be sent on request or viewed here.
