Palmer & its Alter Ego
9 Pins
Palmer & its Alter Ego / Château Palmer’s wines. Its words. Different expressions of a single terroir, born of a common philosophy. Homages to a natural environment and to the traditions of an estate, over time they begin to resonate. Not with power, but with finesse, with elegance. With age, grand crus, the words of Château Palmer, take on ever greater meaning.
The Estate

The Estate
Philosophy
5 Pins
Philosophy / Bedrock. Château Palmer’s wines are a red thread reaching into history. But deeper still, at the estate’s foundation, are values, commitments and community. A world unto itself, curious, sensitive, attentive… encompassing more than just wine.
In the vineyards
5 Pins
In the vineyards / The nature of Château Palmer. In the heart of the Margaux appellation, 66 hectares of gravelly soil and grassy rows overlooking the Garonne River. Between this earth rich in ancient history, and these heavenly skies with their nurturing microclimate, vines flourish under the care of men and women. A terroir, three grape varieties: such is the horizon of Château Palmer.
In the cellars
4 Pins
In the cellars / The heart of Château Palmer. Here in the Village, overlooking the great sorting hall, is where every wine is born and matures. In the shadow of stainless-steel vats and wooden barrels, the technical teams work with care and precision to exalt the vineyard while respecting its bounty. It is where innovation meets tradition – and the future wines of Château Palmer come to life.
Heritage
4 Pins
Heritage / A history. Château Palmer's is a tale of the spirit, recounted in the lives of the Major General Palmer, the Pereire brothers, and continuing today through generations of the Mähler-Besse and Sichel families. Profiles in passion...
Bleu Palmer
22 Pins
Bleu Palmer / If Palmer had a calling card, it would have to be its blue. Some might call it blue, others might call it black but it’s neither blue nor black really: it’s midnight blue. Like an invitation to dream, in the coolness and poetry of the night. Palmer Blue, which always leaves an impression, a color of infinite depth enveloping a wine like no other. The shade of a blue note plucked from a line of jazz, a foretaste—a clue to follow, to losing oneself... in Palmer.
The instant
14 Pins
The instant / " At Château Palmer, time ripens, In clusters of precious moments. Captured in a photographer’s lens,  They glisten with new morning light.  Each vigneron mindfully tends their row,  With practised gestures, and solemn words, Absorbed in their task, they are devoted to the moment. Steadfast, they brave the changeful elements with resolute hearts. For at Château Palmer, each moment holds the promise of eternity."
The garden
19 Pins
The garden / Wild flowers and honeybees in the vineyards. Strawberry goosefoot, shiso, and marsh-mallow in the herb garden. The garden brightens, nourishes, balances and distinguishes an estate. It unveils its past and its future, its intimate ways and its openness to the world, its science and its poetry. At Château Palmer, this biodiversity, this abundance of life, has meaning. It smiles upon our terroir and illuminates our wines… A garden to cultivate.
Jeux d'écriture / Wordplay
11 Pins
Jeux d'écriture / Wordplay / At Château Palmer, words make the wall. Today, exposed, they unveil the secrets of stones. And so it is with wordplay, When language imbues words with fresh perspective, with reverence, When a shift of stance, a new vantage point, reveals a hidden, meaning. These sidesteps, this delight in perspectives, defines the estate as well. With one foot in its heritage, and the other in nature, between history and terroir, Its vintages each reveal an unexpected reality, Another truth, made for sharing.

Hear Palmer 2009
7 Pins
Hear Palmer 2009 / Hear Palmer came about following a meeting between Jacky Terrasson, a famous French-American jazz pianist and Thomas Duroux, managing director of Château Palmer. There is a delicious dialogue of complexity and spontaneity between Château Palmer and jazz so creating Hear Palmer seemed an obvious outcome to both men. From their passion for both wine and jazz, the first Hear Palmer was organised in 2009.
