ASSEMBLAGE : 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49% Merlot, 7% Petit verdot
Robe pourpre de bonne intensité. Nez vigoureux de fruits rouges et noirs, de boisé, de menthe, de noyau, de tabac, de mousse et de violette. Encore très jeune, la bouche indique cependant un très joli fruit, des tanins serrés et sensibles, beaucoup de fraîcheur et une solide longueur. Le vin présente une petite raideur que le vieillissement domptera dans les prochaines années. La matière est là, et, sur un millésime classique ce Palmer deviendra l’élégance même.
Robert Parker – 91-94/100 Drink 2012-2037 A blend of 49% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Petit Verdot, the 2007 Palmer possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as attractive smoky charcoal, blackberry, and plum aromas, good purity, excellent texture, and a soft, fleshy mouthfeel. It should drink well for 10-12 years. Neal Martin – 91-93/100 A deep purple/garnet core. The nose is very backward at first, but there is good fruit intensity and no sign of any under-ripeness. Good selection here. Blackberry, a touch of kirsch and violets. The palate is an understated entry, but do not let this fool you because there are certainly some robust tannins here married with some earthy blackberry fruits, a touch of sea salt with a cedary, tobacco infused finish which is more Cabernet than usual. Tasted April 2008. |

In 1814, as the Napoleonic era came to an end, Major General Palmer of the British army acquired the property that was to bear his name, from a certain Jeanne de Gasq. Over the next four decades, the General invested his fortune in Palmer, extending the property by buying plots of neighbouring vineyards and creating a truly exceptional wine. By the time Palmer was sold to the Péreire banking brothers in 1853, it was a fitting testimony to the General's passion and commitment to exceptional winemaking.
The new owners were no less remarkable. These far-sighted 19th century entrepreneurs participated in the reconstruction of Paris under the direction of Haussmann and Napoleon III, the creation of a seaside resort near Bordeaux - Arcachon - and the ownership of a railway company. In addition, they invested heavily in Chateau Palmer, commissioning renowned architect Burguet in 1856 to build the elegant Cháteau distinguished by its unmistakable towers.
