The cooler 1998 has an elegant Cinsault dominance; the colour is lighter and more delicately perfumed than a typical vintage. Despite this initial impression, the wine is deceptively powerful with a vibrant acidity and fresh, soft red fruit flavours and a very long, spicy finish. The ideal partner to mushroom and game dishes.

Deep garnet in colour. Blackcurrants, blueberries prunes and strawberries on the nose with a hint of violets. A richly fruited wine – the palate bursts with an explosion of red cherries, strawberries, blackberries with a little black pepper and spice with a beautiful soft texture.

Deep salmon/orange-pink. Soft red fruit, peach and quince notes with an underlying subtle spice note in the background. Confirmation of the aromas with further soft red fruit flavour, as well as stone fruits which compliments the wine's refreshing and youthful acidity. Ideal as an aperitif or with Mediterranean salads, fish and charcuterie.

First made in 2004, the Chateau Palmer Historical XIXth Century Wine is a two-region blend, not a “Bordeaux wine” per AOC regulations. The mix includes 42.5% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from the Chateau Palmer estate vineyards. The other 15% is Syrah taken from the Rhone Valley.

Because of the regional and varietal mix, Historical XIXth Century Wine is not labeled as Bordeaux but simply Vin. For the same legal reasons, the name Chateau Palmer, the picture of their chateau does not appear on the front label and the wine is not vintage dated.

The wine is not made every year.

An aromatic bouquet of dark red fruit, brandy & spices, mouthwatering fresh berries and light tannins - 100% Merlot Bordeaux: quality at an affordable price!

A very unique wine - made from merlot grapes that are gently pressed and no skin introduced, so the juice is white.  Grapefruit on the nose, honey notes on the palate and oily mouth feel, but crisp and dry.
