Palmer Historical XIXth Century Wine 2020

Historical XIXth Century Wine, a tribute to history In the 19th century, it was a common practice of the time to “hermitage” the wines, which meant adding to the wines a certain quantity of wine from the Rhône – notably from the region of Hermitage – whose syrah would strengthen the structure and power of the claret. In the 21st century, Château Palmer came up with the idea of bringing this forgotten tradition back to life and launched the renaissance of its own hermitagé , the Historical XIXth Century Wine. A definitively historic wine, whose name honours the past of the great wines of Bordeaux. This unique wine is based on a blend of emblematic parcels of Château Palmer to which is added, in a moderate proportion, a great Syrah wine from the northern slopes of the Rhone Valley - the origin of which is kept secret by the winery. LIMITED QUANTITIES The 2020 vintage “When the pepper of the Petit Verdot meets the violet of the northern Syrah. All of this domesticated by the great finesse of a pure Margaux Cabernet Sauvignon. A free and unprecedented interpretation of the vintage.” Thomas Duroux, CEO. This 10th vintage is characterized by an unprecedented high proportion of Petit Verdot (44%) in the blend and no Merlot.
