Chateau Palmer

Named for the English Major General Charles Palmer, who acquired this Margaux property in 1814 after it had been carved from neighbouring Château d'Issan, Château Palmer today farms some 55 hectares of gravel terroir at the heart of the appellation. Classified a Troisième Cru Classé in 1855, Palmer has long been regarded as an unofficial 'Super Second' for its unusually Merlot-heavy blend, produced under the ownership of the Sichel, Mähler-Besse and related families since 1938. Among the great wines of Palmer, you will find in particular Chateau Palmer Margaux Red 2011 and more at The Vintage Wine Club Hong Kong.
