Château palmer, Margaux
Over the last five years, this thirty-something has taken part in all the different phases of vinification of every vintage at Château Palmer.
American Dream. Born into a poor Kansas family, he’d distinguish himself in sales, and create a prosperous banking equipment company. An ever-evolving career with one constant – a love of wines, and one of the most renowned collections in the USA.
The estate hums with life, welcoming, hosting, entertaining. At the centre of it all… a Japanese chef. For the last three years, Seiji Nagayama has been there for every Palmer moment, serving a cuisine fit for a château.
He savours, drives, sails, dances, feasts… his style ever impeccable. Duncan Quinn has made l’art de vivre – the art of living – his passion and his profession.
