Alter Ego de Château Palmer, Margaux,

Chris Myers, the new Export Director at Chateau Palmer explained that 2014 was the first year the estate went fully biodynamic, although they won't be certified biodynamic until 2017. He also explained that they are trying to reduce the use of SO2 in winemaking. The first time the wine came into contact with SO2 was after the malolactic fermentations. The 2014 Alter Ego is very fragrant with notes of dried flowers, juniper, red currant, incense, bittersweet cherry and some noble cedar and sandalwood notes. The palate is fresh and pure with crisp, well delineated flavours. 53% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Petit Verdot.
