Château Palmer
Classified as a Third Growth Bordeaux in 1855, Château Palmer is considered one of the best in its class. Although Palmer stands among ten Third Growth properties located in Margaux, its primary rival for best of appellation comes from the first growth estate Château Margaux. Palmer's original name was Château de Gascq, but was changed to its owner's namesake after its purchase by General Charles Palmer in 1814. The current owners are the descendants of the Sichel and Mähler-Besse families, who acquired the property in the early 20th century.
Château Palmer is traditionally made with the assemblage containing a higher-than-average percentage of Merlot (up to 40%). The vineyards are situated on gravelly stone over bedrock. Palmer wines are generally rich, supple and a very fruit-forward in character. In addition to its grand vin, Château Palmer also produces a second wine called Alter Ego de Palmer, previously known as Reserve de General.
