As for the first wine, Alter Ego of Palmer benefits from manual harvesting with successive sorting, first in the vineyard and then in the cellar before a meticulous vinification, by grape varieties and according to a parcel method, in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. This is followed by ageing in oak barrels (at least 25% of which are new) which can last between 17 and 18 months.
The 2020 vintage is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. A generously fruit-driven and lively wine, with remarkable freshness, ripe tannins and a satisfying finish.
Alter Ego is renowned for its great regularity over the years, as is Château Palmer, the property's first wine.
