Merlot was the key here and only a third of production went into Alter Ego. Lots of structure for Margaux, but the mass of dark fruit, damson and coffee notes wear the firm tannins well. Voluptuous in the mouth, plenty of spice, more extraction than usual, this may take more time to come round, but will be worth the wait. 5-15 years.

Château Palmer

The château was first acquired under the name of Château de Gascq by a General Charles Palmer in 1814 on his way back from Spain after serving under the Duke of Wellington.

After all his work expanding the estate to some 163 hectares in which the estate was renamed to Château Palmer, he sadly went bankrupt and was forced out by the bank. A consortium of local families, including the Sichel, bought it in the early 1900s. Palmer is traditionally made, and regularly one of Bordeaux's greatest wines, offering up wonderful fragrances and a rich, supple, complex fruity palate. The property is working towards organic and biodynamic certification.

About En Primeur

Lying Abroad/En Primeur/In Bond Wines

Wines offered ‘Lying Abroad’ or ‘En Primeur’ provide a good way to secure some of the most sought after wines at opening prices.

Prices are clearly marked in our sales literature and are exclusive of duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT. Shipment of claret and Port normally takes place around 30 months after the vintage, burgundy and Rhône usually more quickly. A second invoice for the duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT on the value of the wine is charged at the time of shipment - view current duty rates. There are no further charges for deliveries to a UK mainland home or work address. Your Lying Abroad purchases are covered under The Bunch Code of Practice which can be sent on request or viewed here.
