In 2020, Château Palmer delivered a wine that feels almost impossibly complete—sumptuous yet structured, dense yet graceful, with that unmistakable Margaux perfume woven through every layer. This is Palmer at its most magnetic: a wine that pulls you in, holds your attention, and keeps unfolding with every sip.

A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a touch of Petit Verdot, the 2020 is plush and deep, with notes of blackcurrant, plum, violets, graphite, and exotic spice. The tannins are velvety but firm, framing the wine without weighing it down, and the finish stretches on with quiet authority. Biodynamic farming and meticulous cellar work show in the wine’s clarity and finesse.

This is a collector’s Palmer—built to evolve for decades, but already showing its signature elegance. Perfect for the cellar, but with enough charm to tempt you early (if you decant, you won’t regret it). Pair with your best cut of beef—or nothing at all but time and a wide glass.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 98
"The 2020 Palmer is exceptional. Soft, seamless and ample, the Grand Vin caresses the palate with stunning depth and intensity. Super-ripe black cherry, licorice, cloves, menthol and chocolate meld together in the glass. As always, Palmer is made from blocks on gravelly/clay soils (as opposed to the more gravelly/sandy soils for Alter Ego) which gives the wines the breadth and creaminess to match its exotic personality. There is a restrained exuberance here that is so appealing." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 97
"Aromas of raspberries, cassis and cherries mingle with hints of violets, raw cocoa and hints of truffle in a perfumed bouquet. The 2020 Palmer is a full-bodied, layered and seamless wine that's deep and concentrated, with a vibrant core of beautifully pure and perfumed fruit, lively acids and ultra-refined tannins. This suave but authoritative Palmer is one of the high points of the vintage."

"The Merlot provides the broad sweep and touch of sweetness on entry, the Cabernet the fine but punchy tannins that drive the wine. Lots of life and persistence, the tannins fine-grained and fresh. Clear potential."

Decanter

D 99
"Glorious finesse, depth, density and length. An amazing wine that deserves to be a first growth. Such vivid expression of bright fruit and floral aromatics, seamless integration of the 60% new oak and a palate with racy texture that approaches perfection. The tannins need several years to settle and that time will increase the wine's complexity as it approaches its optimal drinking window – and it has many years ahead."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 98
"Massively rich already with density and opulence, this powerful wine is half-and-half Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The dark tannins presage aging for many years."
