Producer

The Château Palmer vineyard is cultivated on gravelly soils, typical of the Margaux appellation, which offer excellent drainage and promote optimal grape ripening. The vines, averaging 35 years old, benefit from a temperate oceanic climate, allowing for slow and even maturation of the berries. This diversity of terroirs contributes to the complexity of the wines, with each plot carefully vinified to express its unique character. Environmentally responsible viticultural practices ensure the long-term sustainability of this exceptional vineyard.

Owner and history

Today, Château Palmer is under the management of the Sichel family, who have preserved the heritage and soul of the estate while infusing it with a modern vision. Their commitment to quality and innovation is reflected in every bottle, making Palmer a key player in the Margaux appellation. The owners are dedicated to respecting the terroir and adopting sustainable viticultural practices, thus ensuring the future of this prestigious estate. Their passion for wine and their respect for nature result in wines of rare finesse and great depth.

Vinification and aging

Winemaking at Château Palmer is a meticulous process that begins with the hand-harvesting of carefully selected grapes. After gentle destemming, the berries are placed in vats for temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation, allowing for optimal extraction of tannins and aromas. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, some of which are new, for approximately 18 months. This barrel aging, combined with regular lees stirring, refines the texture and develops aromatic complexity. Each step is carried out with particular care, respecting the wine's unique character.
