Château Palmer Alter Ego 2012 is a red wine from the Margaux appellation, produced by Château Palmer, classified as a Cru Classé. This vintage is made from a blend of 51% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Petit Verdot. The vines, grown on gravel and gravel-clay soils, benefit from integrated viticulture. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled vats, followed by 12 to 14 months in barrels, 35% of which are new.
