2022 Chateau Palmer 6 bottles case

The 2022 Château Palmer is a magnificent release from one of Margaux’s most celebrated estates, renowned for its biodynamic viticulture and timeless pursuit of harmony and finesse. With origins in the early 19th century and a legacy shaped by both innovation and tradition, Palmer has built its reputation on producing wines of sensual depth, aromatic complexity, and extraordinary ageing potential. Today, under the stewardship of Thomas Duroux, the estate continues to define the modern elegance of Margaux while honouring its illustrious history.

The 2022 vintage reflects the richness of a warm and concentrated growing season, producing berries of exceptional intensity and balance. The blend is composed of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot, vinified parcel by parcel with meticulous care and aged in French oak barrels, a portion new. The result is a wine of power and refinement, with perfect equilibrium between opulence and freshness.

In the glass, it reveals an opaque garnet-purple hue and an expressive bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry, and ripe plum, lifted by violet and iris. Secondary and tertiary notes of cedar, cocoa, graphite, tobacco leaf, and truffle add further dimension. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with a core of dense fruit, fine-grained tannins, and remarkable precision. The finish is long, layered, and mineral-driven, embodying both the sensuality of Palmer and the elegance of Margaux.

Critics have acclaimed the 2022 Château Palmer as one of the wines of the vintage, praising its depth, energy, and monumental ageing potential. A wine of rare beauty and refinement, it will enchant both in its youth after careful decanting and for decades to come in the cellar, standing as one of Bordeaux’s true masterpieces.
