Château Palmer Alter Ego 2011 – A Refined Expression of Margaux

The Château Palmer Alter Ego 2011 is a stunning second wine from the legendary Château Palmer, delivering a more approachable yet equally refined take on the estate’s signature style. While Château Palmer is revered for its power and complexity, Alter Ego focuses on finesse, fruit purity, and velvety texture—making it an exceptional choice for those who appreciate elegant Bordeaux wines.

Vintage & Terroir

The 2011 vintage in Margaux was defined by an early ripening season, resulting in wines with remarkable structure, freshness, and aromatic depth. Sourced from Château Palmer’s historic gravelly terroir, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot showcases the estate’s unique ability to balance richness with refinement.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums intertwine with delicate floral notes of violet and lavender. Hints of cedar, graphite, and sweet spices from oak aging add depth and sophistication. The palate is silky and medium-to-full-bodied, with fine tannins leading to a long, elegant finish featuring lingering notes of mocha, blackcurrant, and spice.

Grilled lamb chops with rosemary
Duck breast with cherry reduction
Aged cheeses like Comté or Gruyère
Wild mushroom risotto
