Château Palmer
We started harvesting the Merlot on 19 September, amidst weather conditions close to those of summer. The berries were
concentrated, aromatic and loaded with sugar. Harvest continued and we entered autumn under a steady, fine rain that lowered the potential alcohol of the Cabernet Sauvignon. By 11 October, the harvest was complete. In the vat room, the Merlot grapes shone in their exuberance. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot would display remarkable finesse. Today, both Alter Ego and Château Palmer express a purity and aromatic clarity rarely seen in a bountiful vintage. These wines do not lie; they are remarkably true to the terroir of Château Palmer.
