Château Palmer 2016

Die goldene Palme von Margaux geht in diesem Jahr an Chateau Palmer, denn Großartigeres im Sinne aromatischer Noblesse, die ihre Distinktion aus der perfekten Verschmelzung von kühler Distanz und warmherzigem Aplomb erfährt, wird dem Oeneasten ist diesem Jahr in Bordeaux nicht geboten.

Dabei fing alles garnicht so vielversprechend an, denn der Mehltaudruck war für das der Biodynamie verschriebene Weingut, das damit die Avantgardefackel der Nachhaltigkeit 2017 in die Troisieme Cru hineinträgt, eine große Herausforderung, der ein deutlicher Teil der Erträge auf am Schluss magere 29 hl/ha zum Opfer fiel.

Die Assemblage aus gleichanteiligen Cabernet Sauvignon und Merlot, zu denen sich 6% Petit Verdot gesellen, entspricht nicht nur den Verhältnissen im Weinberg, sondern beantwortet auch per se die Frage, ob es in diesem Jahr eine favorisierte Rebsorte gab.

Während Chateau Margaux auf den Samtpfoten dezibelarmer e-mobilität daherkommt, bildet bei Chateau Palmer ein großvolumiger Vielzylinder, der diesen Klassemargaux in den nächsten Dezennien zur perfekten Reife wird gleiten lassen, die Seele eines sehr souveränen, perfekt balancierten, erhabenen und gaumendurchdringenden Fruchtfluidums.

The Wine Advocate

"The 2016 Palmer is a blend of 47% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot. Opaque garnet-purple colored, it slowly glides out of the glass with compelling notes of blueberry compote, warm cassis and kirsch with emerging hints of violets, cigar box, black tea, sandalwood and Sichuan pepper. Medium to full-bodied, wonderfully rich, concentrated and packed with latent energy, the palate literally grows in the mouth, revealing layer upon layer of black, blue and red fruits and tons of floral sparks, framed by super ripe, incredibly fine-grained tannins and finishing with epic length. It’s a wine that makes you wanna drape yourself languidly over a chaise lounge, glass of Palmer in hand, sighing with deep satisfaction, “This is so wonderfully Palmer.”

“We had 2009 and 2010, we’ll have 2015 and 2016,” Palmer’s CEO Thomas Duroux told me, alluding to the comparisons being made throughout Bordeaux to the last great pair of vintages. “But of course,” he added, “they are two very different expressions.” There was some mildew pressure at Palmer in 2016, which is a larger problem at organic/biodynamically managed estates such as this. Subsequently, the crop was a relatively modest 29 hectoliters per hectare, down from an average of say 35 hectoliters per hectare. “It was a milder summer, not too much heat,” Duroux further observed. “So there was not too much alcohol this year and nothing jammy.”"

"The 2016 Palmer is a blend of 47% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot cropped at 29 hectoliters per hectare between 3 and 18 October. Matured in 65% new oak (my sample coming from a used barrel), the bouquet is perhaps not quite as intense as some of its peers and takes time to click into fifth gear. Eventually it offers tightly wound blackberry, briary and mineral scents; it is very focused, but maybe less extrovert and more classic in style compared to recent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry, quite firm in the mouth with slightly tarry black fruit, hints of black truffle developing towards the finish that feels masculine and linear. It has very impressive length, completing what is an intellectual Palmer, one that I suspect will really blossom in bottle."

Decanter Magazine

"The grand vin represents 65% of production in 2016, the highest ever. It has many similarities in style with the 2001 and 1986, being a classically styled wine full of soft slate, fern, liquorice and cassis, but from the modern era where you can achieve so much more precision. This is a wine that makes you smile from the first sip, and keeps on getting better, caressing you gently across the palate. There is never any let up through the mid-palate, and the biodynamics that have been practised here for the past few years are clearly paying off. Elegant, utterly silky and precise, the structure is just effortless with reasonably fresh alcohols that are the result of late ripening. A perfect example of the appellation, it has the florality, density and slow tannic pace that means it takes you right along with it as the flavours build. The blend is 47% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot. Intellectual without being overbearing, and built to age. This is impressive stuff. Drinking Window 2027 - 2050

"47% Merlot. Biodynamic.
Tasted blind. Dark crimson. Slightly sweaty nose. Then thick and sweet and utterly charming and super-attractive texture. Fresh finish and the tannins are virtually subsumed in this glorious fruit. Kerpow! Great length. Heady, rich, very dramatic and lively. Complete. A contentious wine because of the concentration?"

Jancis Robinson MW 18,5/20 (Feb. 2020)

"47% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot. No sulphur dioxide until after MLF.
Very dark, velvety look - really bright. Complex and energetic. Not simple and sweet but quite a step change. Feels a little transitional because it's so different and more energetic than the old style. 65% new oak, as always, but the wine can absorb it better. Some bitter chocolate. Lots of sweetness. Energy and freshness."

Jeff Leve

"A richly-colored, attention-seeker whose nose pops with truffle, tobacco, black cherries, cigar box, plum and cocoa. Silky, velour textures and polished tannins embrace juicy, sweet, fresh, pure plums and a finish that builds as it lingers. This sublime wine was produced from a blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot, reaching 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.85. Currently being aged in 65% new, French oak barrels, the wine represents 50% of the harvest, which took place between October 3 and October 18. This is the third vintage that was farmed using 100% biodynamic farming techniques, allowing Palmer to become fully certified."

Jean-Marc Quarin

"Couleur sombre, profonde et pourpre. Nez moyennement aromatique, au fruité frais, mûr et épicé. Ensemble très pur avec une touche florale. Minutieux dès l’attaque et immédiatement raffiné au toucher, très fondant et aérien malgré sa densité, le vin s’étire en finale, long, savoureux, finement tramé et complexe dans sa minutie et ses parfums. Superbe et incrachable."

"Couleur noire, intense et belle. Nez fin, fruité avec une note de prune. Ample à la taille, pulpeux au développement, particulièrement savoureux en milieu de bouche, le vin fond au palais, gras, riche et profond en finale avec une saveur de fruit mêlée à des notes d’herbe sèche. Très belle longueur. Assemblage : 47 % merlot, 47 % cabernet sauvignon, 6 % petit verdot. Degré d’alcool : 13°1 (moyenne moins), le 2015 faisait 13°8, pH : 3.75 (moyenne), IPT : 77 (supérieur à la moyenne). Sélection : 65 % de grand vin. Rendement : 29 hl/ha. Un rendement plutôt bas dû à une attaque de mildiou. Je rappelle que le cru est en biodynamie à 100 % depuis 2014."

"2016 est le troisième millésime réalisé en biodynamie. Issu de rendements très faibles, il a produit 11.000 caisses de grand vin. Cette main de fer dans un gant de velours possède une texture de tanins incroyable. Le coeur de bouche est d'une suavité légendaire et la finale smble interminable."

"A wine with incredible character and style with black ink and blueberry aromas and flavors. Full body, extremely fresh and structured with riffing tannins. It is muscular and powerful. White pepper, sea salt, mineral, stone character. A wine built for the long term. The making of the new 1961."

"98–100. Barrel Sample. Potentially an 100-point wine, this is beautifully ripe and rich, with sweet tannins as well as opulent black fruit tones. A higher than usual proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend gives the wine its density, sophistication and great sense of presence."

Bettane & Desseauve

"La réduction involontaire des rendements (29 hl/ha) liée au passage en bio et à un traitement manqué a concentré la matière à un niveau unique en Médoc. Artistiquement vinifié, cela donne un velouté de texture et une intégration de tannin magiques. Une merveille. Et une très haute expression du merlot, pour une petite moitié de l’encépagement."

VINOUS

"The 2016 Palmer has a generous, slightly lactic bouquet of opulent red fruit infused with touches of dark chocolate, although it calms down and gains more grace with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and well-judged acidity. Very harmonious, revealing cedar and mint toward the extraordinarily persistent finish. This is another classy, persistent Margaux with a long future ahead. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting."

Neal Martin 98 Punkte (Aug. 2020)

"The 2016 Palmer was bottled in summer 2018 and matured in 60% new oak. This year it has the same proportion of grape varieties as planted in the vineyard. The gorgeous, extremely pure and floral bouquet features intense black cherries, humidor, crème de cassis and crushed violet. It is quintessential Palmer in every way. The palate is medium-bodied with fine structure and density, matched by perfectly judged acidity. Black fruit infused with pencil lead and hints of black olive gives way to a more cassis-like note toward the finish, which displays superb structure. This is a great Palmer, one from Thomas Duroux’s top drawer. 13.5% alcohol."

Neal Martin 97 Punkte (Jan. 2019)

"Technical Director Thomas Duroux and his team made one of the most brilliant wines of the 2016 vintage. Palmer is simply exceptional. Rich and dramatically sweeping in the glass, the 2016 is breathtaking. All the elements simply fall into place in a wine of mesmerizing beauty. The counterpoint of dark, sumptuous fruit and floral notes makes for an utterly compelling Palmer that will take its place among the estate's finest vintages. Dark cherry, lavender, spice and mocha are some of the many notes that build into a deep, substantial finish that is truly unforgettable. In a word: magnificent!"

Antonio Galloni 100 Punkte (Apr. 2019)

"Sophisticated and polished from the outset, the 2016 Palmer is utterly captivating. Dark shades of fruit, accented by hints of smoke, leather and discreet French oak open up in the glass, but it is the wine´e effortless, gracious personality that stands out most. The 2016 literally hovers on the palate with exquisite grace. I can´t wait to see how it ages."

"47% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot

Pourpre intense. Bouquet intense et complexe se révélant lentement, au fil des minutes. Je relève des notes florales et fruitées ainsi qu’une légère touche de graphite. La mise en bouche est dense, compacte et fruitée. Le corps est ample et marqué par des tannins puissants, aux grains très fins. La structure acide est un peu en retrait mais elle porte bien le fruit, tout le long du palais. Finale persistante. Un Palmer tout en précision, avec beaucoup d’équilibre et une aptitude à se révéler lentement."

VINUM

"Umwerfend, von grosser Länge, besitzt Eleganz trotz der grossen Rasse, seine knackigen Tannine versteckt er geschickt hinter der besonders fruchtigen Textur, das Fleisch kommt nicht vom Alkohol, sondern genau von dieser besonderen Saftigkeit. Der erste Jahrgang aus zertifiziert biodyna-mischem Anbau."
