CHÂTEAU PALMER
MARGAUX, BORDEAUX, FRANCE

 

The 2015 vintage in Bordeaux is one of the greats not just of the decade, but of the century — one of those magical years that happens maybe twice in a generation, when everything just aligns. 

And when the wines turn out so freaking good.

“I am breathless,” is how James Suckling rightly began his 100-point paean to the 2015 Château Palmer, and we’re happy to report that we’ve just secured an allocation of this majestic masterpiece — which will be shipped direct from Palmer’s esteemed cellars, to ensure pristine provenance.

Aging has turned what was already exceptional into something truly transcendent, and it's hitting its stride at exactly the right moment and ready to pour and enjoy.

Suckling was on the money in his description — a wine, he wrote, "stunningly sexy on the palate with a density and power, yet it leaves things so clean and bright. You want to drink it and enjoy it now, but it has the structure to last forever.” 

Immediate, profound pleasure that doesn't compromise eternal potential.

That's the holy grail right there, folks.

That’s the kind of wine that collections are made for.

Palmer, as you know, has always occupied wine's most enviable sweet spot. Officially a third growth, it routinely makes first growths look overpriced and underperforming. And over the years it has managed, somehow, to embrace enormous change (including a conversion to biodynamic winemaking) while somehow becoming more fully itself with each brilliant vintage. 

And this 2015 — it’s one for the books.

Perfect terroir, optimal conditions in the field, winemaking at the highest levels of artistry, and the patience to let time work its mysterious ways. 

Secure your bottles and cases today, folks, and prepare yourself for something special.
