Chateau Palmer Margaux 2001 - Description and Critics' Notes

Description :
The 2001 Chateau Palmer is a red wine from Margaux, a Bordeaux 3rd Growth, made from a typical blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (51%) , followed by Merlot (44%) and a touch of Petit Verdot (5%) . This vintage offers a balanced combination of power and elegance, characteristic of the Margaux style. The wine is distinguished by complex aromas of black fruits, cedar and violet, as well as a velvety texture and silky tannins. The aging in oak barrels contributes to its depth and structure.

With a rich body and a long finish, this wine reveals great concentration and well-integrated freshness, paying homage to a cooler vintage in the Bordeaux region.

Critics' Notes:
