Château Palmer, a style and a passion
The story of Château Palmer is told through the passion that drives its owners, one by one. First, Major General Palmer, then the Pereire brothers, and now the Mähler-Besse and Sichel families. Château Palmer is also about a style, about values and commitments. The place is living history and inspires respect for its lands and its wines.
Alter Ego, reinterpreting Château Palmer’s terroir
Since the 1998 vintage, a new approach to selection and blending has yielded this supple and rounded wine, distinguished by its freshness of fruit, crisp intensity and richness...thus giving birth to Alter Ego every year. As a result, any wine lover can satisfy sudden desire to indulge without delay.
The 2024 vintage :
While 2024 provided little respite, the meticulous assemblage process and our winemaking experience have elevated this vintage to its quintessence.
The 2024 vintage, marked by extreme weather conditions (rainfall twice the ten-year average and early mildew pressure), required constant vigilance. Despite these challenges, two dry summer months helped preserve the quality of the grapes. Thanks to rigorous winemaking and meticulous blending, this vintage has achieved remarkable harmony. Alter Ego stands out for its delicate tannic structure and delightful aromatic palate. Despite its aging potential, it is a charming vintage to be enjoyed in its younger years.
