Chateau Palmer Margaux AOC 2013

Château Palmer 2013 is the most authentic expression of a complex vintage transformed into elegance thanks to the strength of the terroir and winemaking mastery. Born from one of the most climatically challenging seasons in decades, this wine is today an example of how, in critical moments, a more subtle, more deliberate form of perfection can be achieved.

The 2013 vintage, marked by persistent rains, low temperatures, and late vine development, required meticulous work both in the vineyard and in the cellar. The grapes—51% Cabernet Sauvignon and 49% Merlot—were selected with extreme care, thanks to the use of advanced technologies such as optical sorting, and only a third of the production was destined for the Grand Vin. No concessions to quantity, only the purest essence of the vineyard.

The vinification was carried out with absolute delicacy to preserve finesse and structure, with aging in new French oak barriques, as per the tradition of great Margaux. The result is a silky wine of rare elegance, capable of defying time.

On the palate, it is refined and balanced, free of vegetal edges or astringent tannins, supported by a lively freshness and a velvety texture. The finish is long and harmonious, with an aromatic persistence that evolves in the glass.

Recommended Pairings
