    Description

    THE Château Palmer 2013 testifies to the virtuosity of the domaine faced with one of the most complex and difficult vintages of the 21st century in Bordeaux. Between a cold and very rainy spring (causing coulure and meunier) and constant health pressure in the autumn, yields were historically low (barely 24 hl/ha).

    Thanks to a rigorous sorting process and the precision of Thomas Duroux's teams, Palmer has produced one of the finest achievements of the Left Bank: a wine very focused on Cabernet Sauvignon, fluid, pure and remarkably refined.
