Provenance & Masters Behind the Bottle

Rooted in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, Chateau Palmer is a testament to viticultural mastery. Thomas Duroux has been steering this ship since 2004, with an emphasis on biodynamic practices. Owned by a group of shareholders from the Sichel and Mahler-Besse families, the chateau boasts a lineage deeply ingrained in Bordeaux winemaking tradition.

Vineyard & Craftsmanship

Occupying 66 hectares, the vineyard hosts a mix of gravelly soil, optimizing water drainage and root penetration. The grape balance is 47% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Petit Verdot—a proportion skillfully chosen to create wines of rich complexity. The estate engages in meticulous vineyard management to limit yields, enhancing both exclusivity and scarcity.

Aging & Investment Value

While young vintages offer lush, aromatic profiles, aging only amplifies their intrinsic merits. Chateau Palmer's wines are potent candidates for long-term investment, appreciated not just for their taste but also for their increasing scarcity and value on the secondary market.
