CHÂTEAU PALMER
Vin Blanc de Palmer 2018
Château Palmer is a wine estate located in the Margaux appellation of the Médoc. It was ranked as a third growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, although for many decades it has been consistently rated as one of the best wines in the region. Unusually for the Médoc, Château Palmer usually has as much Merlot as Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend (along with a small amount of Petit Verdot), which helps give the wine a fleshy and generous structure. It can be drunk young, but will also reward long cellaring.
At the beginning of the 20th century, owning Château Palmer had a few advantages. One was the custom of producing a few barrels of white wine purely for the owners’ consumption. The tradition continued until the late 1930s, and only ended with the outbreak of war. Then in the late 1990s, a discovery was made in the estate’s cellars: two bottles of Vin Blanc de Palmer from 1925. The long-lost wine gave the teams in the Village and vineyard an idea. So by the early 2000s, Muscadelle, Sauvignon Gris and Loset vines were back in the ground, and in 2007, the Vin Blanc de Palmer was reborn.
