Alter Ego De Palmer - 2003 - Château Palmer
Ref: A042303
AC Margaux

One of the newest yet most highly regarded of the second wines. Deep, full colour with a succulent fruit intensity and a large dollop of new oak which will need time to integrate. Beautifully sculpted. Drink 2007 to 2012.

Château Palmer was built during the Second Empire by the Parisian bankers Emile and Isaac Péreire. The château's elegant architecture features four pointed turrets. Vines surround the château and outbuildings.

The vineyards grow on gravelly outcrops in Margaux and Cantenac. The gravel consists of large smooth pebbles that are either lydian, quartz or pudding stone called graves de Palassou. This outstanding terroir is ideal for making great wine. It overlooks the Gironde estuary and benefits from the Médoc's unique oceanic microclimate. The weather is generally hot, dry, and sunny in summer and autumn. Spring comes early and is not very rainy. This brings about early budding, as well as flowering in May and June.
