THE Château Palmer 2021 This illustrates the technical mastery of Thomas Duroux's team in the face of one of the coolest, wettest, and most demanding vintages of the decade in Bordeaux. Where mildew and a lack of summer heat threatened the vineyards, rigorous management in biodynamics and a drastic selection at harvest time made it possible to produce a vintage of remarkable precision, of a very classic and highly aristocratic style.

This 2021 is distinguished by a marked predominance of Cabernet Sauvignon, offering a rare verticality and floral freshness, reminiscent of the profile of the great Bordeaux wines of the 1980s and 1990s.
