Château Palmer

3ème Grand Cru Classé Margaux 2025

Palmer ist einer dieser seltenen Weine, bei denen einfach alles zusammenkommt: Terroir, Historie, Stil und Präzision. Offiziell ein Troisième Cru, in der Realität längst auf Augenhöhe mit den größten Namen Bordeauxs. Auch 2025 zeigt wieder diese unverwechselbare Handschrift – sinnlich, tief und mit einer Eleganz, die Margaux in Perfektion definiert.

One of the most refined and seamless wines of the vintage is the 2025 Palmer, a blend of 55% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot that wafts from the glass with aromas of sweet blackberries, plums and licorice complemented by floral accents of violet and wisteria (yes, the window of the tasting room was closed). Full-bodied, suave and layered, with a deep and concentrated core of fruit, bright acids and supple tannins, it's already harmonious and complete, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. At only 13.5% alcohol, this is quite a bit lower than most recent sunny vintages at Palmer.

Deep dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate edge brightening. Black berry fruit, a hint of cassis, delicate nougat, subtle spice, inviting bouquet. Complex, juicy, black cherries, fine extract sweetness, ripe tannins, mineral aftertaste, nougat touch on the finish, great length, sure maturity potential, seductive style.

Plush is the word to describe this red. Full-bodied and layered, with velvety tannins and a savory finish. Juicy at the end. Flashy and posh. Plenty of blackberry and black currant aromas and flavors.
