2017 Chateau Palmer Margaux Bordeaux France 750mL

As the direct next-door neighbor to Château Margaux, Château Palmer routinely performs at First Growth levels, and this 98-point 2017 release is a historic masterpiece. It is also one of the most aggressively priced Left Bank allocations we have ever offered. While Total Wine currently asks $370 and other major merchants push past $400, our price is just $249.99—the lowest price in the US. The 2017 vintage isn’t just another stellar release from Palmer—it is a viticultural milestone. After nearly a decade of radical vineyard transformation under the visionary leadership of Thomas Duroux, 2017 marks the exact year the entire 55-hectare estate officially achieved 100% biodynamic certification. It is the culmination of an obsessive pursuit of terroir purity, resulting in a monumental, energetic wine. Steered by the descendants of the Sichel and Mähler-Besse families since 1938, Palmer is famous for a hedonistic, velvet-draped texture and perfumed elegance that stands entirely on it own. Grown on Margaux's premier gravelly soils, the 2017 release perfectly captures this signature style, delivering vibrant blue fruit, wonderfully diffused tannins, and a polished finish.
