Chateau Palmer, a Third Growth estate in the heart of the Margaux appellation, has consistently proven itself to be a standout Bordeaux producer, crafting wines that rival the famed First Growths of the region. The estate's consistent performance and high praise from critics have earned Chateau Palmer a reputation that far surpasses its initial standing on the Left Bank.

Remarkable and considered one of the greatest vintages on the Left Bank. Robert Parker exulted the 2005 Palmer as "one of the great efforts of this superlative vintage...surprisingly opulent (it has a big percentage of Merlot), long, multi-dimensional and textured. This wonderfully pure, stunning wine once again performs as a first-growth. It should drink well for the next 20-25 years."
