Château Palmer er den mest eftertragtede 3. Cru og en vin, der nærmest årligt høster anmeldelser på niveau med 1. Cru-erne. Netop derfor regnes Palmer også som den eneste vin i Margaux, der reelt set kan hamle op med selveste Château Margaux.

Slottets historie kan dateres mere end 200 år tilbage, da den engelske general Charles Palmer købte ejendommen af Madame de Gascq og navngav det Château Palmer.

Vinene produceres efter biodynamiske principper fra de grusholdige og veldrænede parceller i Margaux tæt ved Gironde-floden. Målet er en perfekt vin og den ypperste respekt for terroiret:

"Château Palmer is living history. It inspires respect, for its soils and its vineyards, but also for its wines. The result of centuries of viticulture and vinifications, honed by the pursuit of a singular vision. A style unto itself. A benchmark for all future endeavours. For at Château Palmer, change is never an end in itself, but a means to serve both today’s and yesterday’s wines. It’s the fruit of a precious freedom. The freedom to constantly reassess, to question, to never be afraid of taking carefully calibrated risks. With at heart, an unchanging ideal – to ever improve, not just for the wines, but also for their artisans and the environment all around them."

97 point, Decanter:

"A showstopper of a wine that offers a fragranced nose of purple flowers, blackcurrant, cola and liquorice. Smooth and silky, this has a gorgeous weight and texture, full and filling, a density of chalky, almost chewy tannins but bright, juicy acidity. Excellent construction, delicately layered but builds to an impressive whole that has such allure on the palate. A joyous wine brilliantly delivered."

97 point, Wine Enthusiast:

"This juicy wine has aromatic black fruits that give way to cinammon spices and intense acidity along with dark, plush blackberry fruits. Wait to drink this impressive wine until 2028. Biodynamic. — Roger Voss"

96-97 point, James Suckling:

"There’s brightness and clarity to this young wine, with blackcurrants, violets, lavender and blackberries. Medium body with a sold core of fruit and a long, fresh finish. Fine tannins. Bright acidity. 56% merlot, 3% petit verdot and 41% cabernet sauvignon. From biodynamically grown grapes."
