Château Palmer, Third Growth winery in Margaux-Cantenac, France
Château Palmer is a winery in the Margaux region covering 66 hectares with balanced plantings of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, supplemented by Petit Verdot. The vineyards surround traditional buildings and follow biodynamic farming methods.
The winery was acquired in 1814 by Charles Palmer, who expanded the property that originally belonged to Château d'Issan. Financial difficulties forced the sale of the estate in 1843.
The winery carries the name of a British general who shaped the estate in the 1800s, creating an international link to the Bordeaux region. Visitors can sense this historical connection while walking through the buildings and vineyards.
Visitors should book tastings in advance through the official website, as visits are by appointment only. The best months to visit are outside the grape harvest period from September through October.
The property keeps a herd of cattle that graze on the land and provide natural fertilizer for biodynamic farming. These animals are part of a holistic approach to soil care that goes beyond standard vineyard practices.
