About this wine
Alter Ego is the second wine of Château Palmer in Margaux, first made in 1998. It is not simply a selection of lesser lots but is blended to its own style, more open and fruit-forward than the grand vin, with Merlot playing a large part alongside Cabernet Sauvignon. It is enjoyable earlier and ages well for a decade or more.
About Palmer
Château Palmer is a Third Growth of Margaux that regularly makes wine of First Growth standard. It is named after Charles Palmer, a British general who bought the estate in 1814, and is owned today by the Sichel and Mähler-Besse families.
Palmer is farmed biodynamically and uses an unusually high share of Merlot for the Médoc, giving wines of lush texture and perfume.
