Producer’s notes
A year in three parts: a wet spring, a sunny summer and a damp autumn. Dry conditions in August and early September concentrated the grapes, and moderate yields helped keep them healthy through a wet harvest, picked from 27 September to 15 October. The château describes generous Merlot and precise Cabernet Sauvignon coming together in a balanced wine with the smoothness and elegance typical of Palmer.
