Alter Ego De Palmer, Margaux 2020

As for the first wine, Alter Ego of Palmer benefits from manual harvesting with successive sorting, first in the vineyard and then in the cellar before a meticulous vinification, by grape varieties and according to a parcel method, in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. This is followed by ageing in oak barrels (at least 25% of which are new) which can last between 17 and 18 months.

The 2020 vintage is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. A generously fruit-driven and lively wine, with remarkable freshness, ripe tannins and a satisfying finish.

Alter Ego is renowned for its great regularity over the years, as is Château Palmer, the property’s first wine.
