About this product

Elegant. Energetic. The sophisticated second wine of a legendary estate.
Alter Ego de Palmer is not just a second wine—it’s its own expression of Château Palmer’s exceptional terroir. Crafted from the same prestigious Margaux vineyards, it features a refined blend of 53% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Petit Verdot. The 2017 vintage balances youthful vibrancy and polished finesse, offering power now with the potential to age gracefully over the next decade.

Why we love it:
Alter Ego 2017 is the perfect Bordeaux: structured yet supple, expressive yet refined. It's a wine that welcomes wine lovers of all levels—pleasing today and rewarding tomorrow.

A revered Third Growth in Margaux, Château Palmer spans 66 ha of gravel-rich vineyards. Their philosophy balances organic practices with meticulous craftsmanship. Alter Ego, launched in 1998, showcases these same exceptional sites with a softer, more accessible profile—often crafted with lower alcohol and earlier-drinking appeal.
