Ripe blackberries, dark cherries and a scatter of roses glide through Chateau Palmer Alter Ego de Palmer 2022, giving a plush, almost luxurious feel that’s lifted by cool graphite and a gentle minty freshness. The palate is generous and mouthfilling yet finely detailed, with silky, lacy tannins and a long, classy finish that feels both modern and deeply Margaux at heart.

Alter Ego de Palmer is a distinct cuvée from Château Palmer in Margaux, crafted since 1998 as an earlier‑drinking, more fruit‑forward “other expression” of the same biodynamic, gravelly terroir rather than a classic second wine. Typically a Merlot‑ and Cabernet Sauvignon–based Bordeaux blend with some Petit Verdot, it is known for its generous dark fruit, floral and spice notes, silky tannins, and supple texture that showcases Margaux elegance while remaining accessible in its youth yet capable of aging gracefully.
