Where biodynamic philosophy meets three centuries of Margaux mastery, Château Palmer commands 66 hectares of Left Bank perfection. This legendary estate transforms prime gravelly terroir into investment-grade wines that define modern Bordeaux excellence under Thomas Duroux's visionary leadership.

Founded in the 19th century and elevated to Third Growth status in 1855, Château Palmer has evolved into one of Bordeaux's most progressive estates while honoring its aristocratic heritage. Winemaker Thomas Duroux leads a revolutionary approach that seamlessly blends traditional Margaux elegance with cutting-edge sustainable practices. The estate's commitment to biodynamic viticulture and precision winemaking has positioned Palmer among the Left Bank's most coveted properties, consistently producing wines that rival First Growth estates.

Palmer's flagship wine represents the pinnacle of Margaux expression, crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grown on exceptional gravelly soils. The estate's meticulous approach includes hand-harvesting, plot-by-plot vinification, and extended aging in French oak. Their second wine, Alter Ego de Palmer, offers earlier accessibility while maintaining the estate's signature refinement. These ultra-premium bottlings command premium allocations worldwide, with critics consistently awarding scores above 95 points. Limited annual production of approximately 10,000 cases ensures exclusivity for collectors and connoisseurs seeking investment-grade Bordeaux.
