Description

Château Palmer Alter Ego 2012 - Margaux

Origin & Production

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. 

Wine profile

    - Colour : Deep garnet red.

    - Nose : Aromas of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), white truffle, stone and liquorice, with subtle floral and woody notes.

    - Palate: Supple and round on the palate, with a fine, elegant tannic structure. The balance between acidity and fruit is remarkable, offering a velvety texture and good length.

    - Finish: Persistent, with hints of dark chocolate and toasted wood.
