Château Palmer 2002 is a brilliant effort that is in the same qualitative league as the great 2000 vintage!

Palmer’s wines are highly sought after around the world – an intensely seductive Margaux style. Palmer is a quintessentially beautiful château sited on the outskirts of the village of Margaux, and was established by Englishman, Major-general Charles Palmer, who arrived in Bordeaux after the Napoleonic wars. Palmer is second only to Château Margaux itself on Margaux's quality ladder and its wines are far superior than its third growth status suggests.

“...complex notes of menthol, black currants, plums, licorice, and a hint of cappuccino in its stunning aromatics. Dense, medium to full-bodied, with high levels of tannin in a big, full-bodied style.” eRobertParker.com

"The Wines of Château Palmer are as celebrated as its black and gold label or its turreted chateau...Second only to Château Margaux in the pecking order in Margaux, Palmer performs well above its third-growth status, and this is reflected in the price." James Lawther MW, The Finest Wines of Bordeaux
