Château Palmer

About the Winery

Château Palmer is a historic 3ème Cru Classé (Third Growth) in the 1855 Bordeaux classification. The estate was created in 1814 by the English general Charles Palmer after he fell in love with a small wine estate belonging to the de Gascq family. In 1843, the Fould family acquired the property and invested in the vineyard. Since 1938, the Sichel and Mähler-Besse families have owned the estate. In 2004, Thomas Duroux became technical director and introduced biodynamic viticulture. Palmer was promoted to Cru Classé in the 2025 reclassification. The 66-hectare vineyard produces wines of legendary elegance and aging potential, with a high proportion of Merlot that gives the wines their characteristic suppleness and aromatic complexity.

“A legendary 3ème Cru Classé of 66 hectares in Margaux, practicing biodynamic viticulture since 2004 under Thomas Duroux.”
