Nestled in the heart of the Margaux appellation, Château Palmer is easily the closest rival to its first growth neighbor Chateau Margaux. If a reclassification were ever on the cards, Château Palmer would undoubtedly be up for a big promotion. The estate dates to the 17th century, though it was not until 1814 that Englishman Charles Palmer took ownership and gave it his name. In 1938, the estate was bought by four Bordeaux négociant families, two of whom – Sichel and Mähler-Besse – still own the property today. Guiding Château Palmer into a new era of excellence is the dynamic and talented winemaker Thomas Duroux. With an impressive winemaking background which includes the Super Tuscan legend Ornellaia, and Château Léoville Las Cases. Château Palmer has achieved a devoted, cult-like following, by exhibiting the same elegance, restraint and complexity of the exalted First Growths while sitting at the very top of the Super- Second tree, eyeing its rightful spot amongst the elite wines of Bordeaux. Total dedication to quality, and winemaking artistry of the highest level propels Chateau Palmer to the very pinnacle of its classification, and provides Bordeaux aficionados with a unique opportunity to revel in a wine of First Growth standard, at a much more reasonable price point. Chateau Palmer is THE smart buy in Bordeaux.
