Château Palmer 2004

The elegance and richness of a great Margaux wine

The estate

The Château Palmer is a true star of the Margaux appellation, on the left bank of the Bordeaux region. With beginnings in biodynamics started in 2009, Château Palmer chose to convert the entire vineyard as of 2014. After building its legend on vintages that have become mythical, Château Palmer continues to write its history under the direction of the talented Thomas Duroux.

The vineyard

Benefiting from an exceptional Margaux terroir located in the immediate vicinity of the Gironde estuary, Château Palmer has an unusual grape variety in Médoc, giving pride of place to merlot (47%), which is alongside cabernet sauvignon in equal proportions (47%) associated with petit verdot (6%).

The vintage

Unlike the previous two years, 2004 benefited from an ideal climate, without excess, allowing a slow and homogeneous maturation of the grapes. The vinification, with an average duration of 21 days, varied according to the tanks to maximize either the expression of the fruit or the power of the wine. This vintage stands out for its balance between finesse and depth, perfectly reflecting the generosity of the Palmer terroir.

Blend

This Château Palmer 2004 is a blend of merlot (47%), cabernet sauvignon (46%) and petit verdot (7%).
