The Château Palmer Alter Ego 2011 is an exquisite second wine from the legendary Château Palmer, crafted to showcase a more approachable yet equally elegant expression of Margaux. While Château Palmer is known for its power and complexity, Alter Ego is designed to highlight the estate’s signature finesse, fruit purity, and silky texture.
The 2011 vintage was marked by an early ripening season, producing wines with excellent structure, freshness, and aromatic intensity. Sourced from the historic gravelly terroir of Margaux, this wine blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, reflecting the perfect harmony between richness and refinement.
Aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums unfold alongside delicate floral notes of violet and lavender. Hints of cedar, graphite, and sweet spices emerge from its time in oak, adding depth and complexity. On the palate, the wine is medium-to-full-bodied, offering a silky texture, fine tannins, and a beautifully balanced finish with lingering notes of mocha, blackcurrant, and spice.
This elegant and versatile Margaux pairs perfectly with:
✔ Second wine of the prestigious Château Palmer
✔ A beautifully balanced Margaux with elegance and complexity
✔ Aging gracefully, offering excellent drinking potential now
✔ Limited availability – a must-have for Bordeaux collectors
Experience the refined charm of Château Palmer Alter Ego 2011. Whether you're expanding your Bordeaux collection or seeking a sophisticated red wine for a special occasion, this vintage delivers elegance in every sip.
