How to recognise the style and aromatic profile of a Château Palmer during a tasting?
The style of Château Palmer is immediately recognisable by its enveloping texture and its bouquet of great complexity. On the nose, one generally perceives notes of ripe black fruits, blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, intertwined with violet, dried rose and a subtle oriental touch, a characteristic signature of the estate. On the palate, the tannins are silky and of remarkable finesse for a Médoc, supported by a fresh acidity that ensures the overall structure. With age, the wines of Château Palmer develop complex tertiary aromas of undergrowth, truffle, cedar and blonde tobacco, revealing the full dimension of this exceptional terroir of the Margaux appellation.
