Winemaker's Notes
Château Palmer Margaux 2020 is an exquisite and opulent expression of Bordeaux, reflecting the estate's commitment to quality and elegance. On the nose, it unveils a complex bouquet of dark fruits, including ripe blackcurrant, plum, and blackberry, interwoven with enticing notes of violet, cedar, and tobacco. The palate is rich and full-bodied, showcasing layers of concentrated fruit flavors alongside hints of dark chocolate, espresso, and a touch of spice. Silky tannins provide structure and balance, while a vibrant acidity keeps the wine lively and fresh. The finish is long and persistent, with a harmonious blend of fruit, oak, and minerality that leaves a lasting impression.
Critic Ratings
Jeb Dunnuck Review - Rated 97:
The flagship 2020 Château Palmer checks in as 48% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Petit Verdot that's aged one year in 50-60% new barrels before moving to foudre. It's another ripe, sexy, yet incredibly pure wine from this team offering loads of black and blue fruits, some iris flower, spice, iron, and obvious mineral nuances, full-bodied richness, velvety tannins, and a great finish.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 97:
Aromas of raspberries, cassis and cherries mingle with hints of violets, raw cocoa and hints of truffle in a perfumed bouquet. The 2020 Palmer is a full-bodied, layered and seamless wine that's deep and concentrated, with a vibrant core of beautifully pure and perfumed fruit, lively acids and ultra-refined tannins. This suave but authoritative Palmer is one of the high points of the vintage.
Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 94:
Nicely packed, with a mix of black currant, plum and blackberry compote flavors at the core, all supported by bay leaf, tobacco and roasted cedar notes. Shows good energy throughout, along with a swath of freshly plowed earth and an underlying hint of cast iron on the finish, providing range and character. Just misses the tension and drive to be classic. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
