Château Palmer, Third Growth winery in Margaux-Cantenac, France
Château Palmer covers 66 hectares of vineyards planted with equal parts of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Petit Verdot grapes.
The estate, originally part of Château d'Issan, was acquired by Charles Palmer in 1814, who expanded the property until financial difficulties forced its sale in 1843.
The winery organizes regular events combining wine tastings with jazz performances among the vineyard rows, creating connections between wine and music.
The estate produces approximately 11,000 cases of its main wine annually, with advance reservations required for visits and tastings through their official website.
The property maintains a herd of cows that contribute to the biodynamic farming practices by providing natural fertilizer for the vineyards.

The wine estates of Bordeaux spread across the Gironde department and produce wines under more than 60 appellations. The châteaux combine winemaking traditions with modern cellar techniques. Many properties open their doors to visitors, offering tours of vineyards, fermentation rooms, and barrel cellars. The grand estates of the Médoc, such as Château Margaux, Château Latour, or Château Mouton Rothschild, rank among the most recognized addresses in the region. In Saint-Émilion, châteaux cluster around the medieval village. The Entre-deux-Mers area features numerous smaller family operations. Wine routes traverse landscapes of vine rows and historic buildings. The architecture of the châteaux ranges from medieval fortresses to 18th and 19th-century residences. Some estates have commissioned contemporary cellars from architects like Norman Foster or Jean Nouvel. Tasting rooms allow visitors to sample different vintages and blends. Many domains also organize oenology workshops and receptions in their vineyards.
