Wine improves as the years pass. So does the vine. Little by little, its roots grow deeper, and in doing so, reach nutrients beneficial for its proper development. Throughout this quest for longevity, Château Palmer is there. With delicacy. Its sheep maintain the soil and enrich it. Its teams banish agrochemicals and practice grafting using gentle methods. All with a single goal at heart: the perpetuation of an ecosystem, a great terroir, and a heritage of plant life that is half a century old on average. A rarity. Like the "Tennis" plot, whose Merlot vines have been overlooking the Garonne since 1938. A living treasure to be cherished.
