What is the difference between Château Palmer and Alter Ego de Palmer?
Alter Ego de Palmer is the estate's second wine, created in 1998 not as a simple declassification, but as a fully-fledged cuvée with its own identity. Where Château Palmer focuses on depth, concentration and extended cellaring, Alter Ego de Palmer favours freshness, accessibility and a more immediate fruitiness. Its blend often incorporates a higher proportion of Merlot, which gives it a velvety texture and a seductive character from its earliest years. Alter Ego is thus an excellent introduction to the world of the estate, offering the aromatic signature of Château Palmer at a more accessible price point.
