Palmer has now done 10 years of bio and zero use of sulphur, which in the eyes of Director Thomas Duroux accounts for the style and elegance seen in a hot vintage such as 2023! By “hot” Thomas means the August and September ripening periods which he said were perfect for the 66 ha of Palmer vines. His grand vin is mightily impressive with a svelte side over a pretty muscular core and there is extra depth. The tannins are polished, the fruit layered with spice, it feels plush and yet has the salty finish specific to this vintage. This is a top wine in 2023. 5-15 years.
