"Chateau Palmer" Margaux Things to Do Tip by black_mimi99

The origins of Chateau Palmer lie in the Gascq estate, which predates it by several centuries. The Gascq family were an influential Bordeaux dynasty that not only held sway over an impressive estate.

Chateau Palmer is one of a large collection - ten in all - of third growth properties located in Margaux. In terms of sheer quality Palmer leads this pack by a length, producing wine of such a high standard that it frequently wipes the floor with the Margaux second growths.
