The 2024 Alter Ego de Palmer is a lovely wine, bursting with aromas of blackcurrants, plums, rose petals and violets. Medium to full-bodied, supple and lively, with a sweet core of fruit, ripe tannins and impressive richness for the vintage, it's a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot.

The second wine of Palmer, the 2024 Château Palmer Alter Ego is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and 6% Petit Verdot. Juicy cassis, black cherries, sappy herbs, and floral violet notes all shine in the aromatics. It's medium-bodied on the palate, with juicy acidity, solid tannins, and a good finish. It shows the more mid-weight style of the vintage and shines for its purity. In some vintages, I'd be nervous identifying the Grand Vin and Alter Ego blind, as they can be that close. That's not the case in 2024, where it plays the role of a true second wine.

Thomas Duroux continues to produce singularly textural, powerful wines at this historic 66-hectare Margaux property, where he has introduced a new focus on parcel-by-parcel viticulture and vinification, as well as pioneering biodynamic methods, over the last two decades. Today, cover crops are the order of the day, much of the vineyard isn't hedged, and fruit trees are being planted in the rows as part of an agroforestry initiative. The core of Palmer derives from the plateau around the château, where soils consist of a millefeuille of sandy gravel, clay-rich gravel, sandy gravel again—and then a meter of pure clay; and it's old-vine Merlot, planted on these soils, that lends Palmer its richness and flesh. There are other parcels dotted around the appellation, of course, including a large block of coarser gravel surrounded by trees, not far from Bel Air Marquis d'Aligre. Maturation now lasts for two years, with the first in barrique and the second in large foudres, resulting in more harmonious oak integration and retaining greater purity of fruit.
