Alter Ego de Château Palmer, Margaux 2020

Alter Ego is the second wine of Château Palmer, a Third Growth (1855) in Margaux; it is made as a distinct wine in its own right rather than only from declassified lots. Margaux is the Médoc appellation known for its most perfumed, elegant reds. Left Bank Bordeaux reds are blends led by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, structured and firm when young and able to age.

Serve at 16–18°C, ideally decanted, with red meat, lamb or hard cheese.
