“Château Margaux and Château Palmer are by far the most dominant” in Margaux names, write Bettane and Desseauve.
Since the end of the 1990s, Château Palmer has marched towards absolute beauty. Today, this Troisième Cru Classé is an exceptional one in Margaux, much like Troplong Mondot in Saint-Emilion.
This is an astonishing vintage full of fineness and “devilish precision” in 2007, which only included 40% of the harvest.
With its deep aromas of blackberries and entrancing touches of violets, vanilla and coffee, this pure and distinguished wine is able to establish an almost intimate and truly magical relationship with those it inspires.
And although Jancis Robinson wants to show a certain amount of restraint - "rather sumptuous", she writes -, others hold back neither their words nor enthusiasm, like Jean-Marc Quarin, who describes Château Palmer 2007 as being “marvellously unctuous”.
A true gem.
