Alter Ego de Palmer 2022
Bordeaux - Margaux - 2nd Wine - Red Wine - Primeurs 2022 - Delivery from september 2025Alter Ego de Palmer 2022 is the second wine of the legendary Château Palmer. Crafted from the same Margaux terroirs with identical precision, it offers a more approachable and generous expression of the Palmer style while retaining aromatic purity, silky texture and remarkable freshness. The warm yet perfectly controlled 2022 vintage delivers a wine of outstanding harmony, enjoyable earlier yet still profound.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: deep, brilliant purple.
Nose: expressive and refined with ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), black cherry, floral notes (violet), hints of licorice, gentle spices and subtly integrated oak.
Palate: broad and velvety with a dense yet supple core. Fine, elegant tannins and Margaux freshness provide balance and length, leading to a long, harmonious and flavorful finish.
Terroir & Blend
The parcels dedicated to Alter Ego de Palmer come from the same deep, well-drained gravel soils as the Grand Vin in Margaux. The 2022 blend is led by Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Petit Verdot, delivering roundness, complexity and elegance.
Winemaking & Aging
Hand-harvested grapes with meticulous sorting. Parcel-by-parcel vinification with controlled macerations focused on texture finesse and fruit purity. Aged in French oak barrels with a moderate proportion of new oak, ensuring perfect balance between structure and drinkability.
Food Pairings
Perfect with grilled or roasted red meats, duck breast, veal fillet, fine poultry or refined sauced dishes. Serve at 60–64 °F (16–18 °C). Decant for 1–2 hours when young.
12bouteilles.com Recommendation
Alter Ego de Palmer 2022 is an elegant, approachable Margaux, ideal for discovering the Palmer style. Enjoy now with aeration or cellar gracefully over 12–20 years.
