Château Palmer, 3e cru classé Margaux 2025 En Primeur (Case of 6)



£1,158.00

ALC 13.5%


This wine is still to be bottled and as such the advertised ABV may be subject to change on its eventual arrival and inspection into the U.K.

Cassis and currant dominate the nose, both ripe and yet cool and pure, mirrored on the palate. Seriously refined and well-knit, a fleshy feel yet the fruit is precise and integrated with the silky tannins. The finish is a bit chalky and the salinity comes through, but this is an imposing Palmer with presence and breeding. Fabulous.

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.
