Margaux's 98-Point "Super Second"
2017 Chateau Palmer Margaux
Château Palmer isn't just a Margaux—it’s a Left Bank powerhouse that routinely goes head-to-head with First Growths and usually commands prices to match. While Total Wine asks $370 and other major retailers push well past $400 and $450, we have the 98-point 2017 vintage for just $249.99. That is the lowest price in the United States, period.

Tasting notes
Aroma
Wild blueberry, warm plum, and violet floral notes before revealing cedar chest, pencil shavings, and star anise.
Palate
Vibrant and precisely sculpted on the palate. A concentrated core of dark blackberry interweaves with finely boned tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish.

Margaux’s biodynamic "Super Second" masterpiece
Château Palmer isn't just a Margaux—it’s a Left Bank powerhouse that routinely goes head-to-head with First Growths and usually commands prices to match.
While Total Wine asks $370 and other major retailers push well past $400 and $450, we have the 98-point 2017 vintage for just $249.99. That is the lowest price in the United States, period.
What makes Palmer so fiercely collected is how it breaks the Left Bank rules. By leading with a uniquely high 54% Merlot in the blend, Palmer achieves a fleshy, hedonistic, and perfumed elegance that stands entirely in its own lane. The 2017 vintage is a brilliantly executed masterclass in this style. Farmed with strict biodynamic precision, it achieved a 98-point score for its beautifully diffused tannins, vibrant blue fruit, and energetic, polished finish.
Finding a 98-point Palmer with nearly $200 in immediate savings is a flat-out anomaly in the Bordeaux market. Lock in your allocation ASAP!
