This lot comprises one bottle of 1982 vintage Château Palmer from the Margaux appellation in Bordeaux.

Margaux is located in Médoc and is one the finest appellations in France. Ernest Hemingway was so fond of Margaux wine that he named his daughter after it. The most widely used grape variety is Cabernet Sauvignon, which is always blended with other varieties like Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. The wines are long-lasting and should only be savored after several years of proper storage.

1982 was a very special vintage in Bordeaux. It is one of those truly great vintages, like 1945 and 1961, which will be talked about for decades to come. American wine critic Robert Parker made a name for himself when he described this vintage as outstanding, contradicting the opinion of many other wine critics. Time proved him right and sealed his reputation as the most influential wine critic in the world. A truly fine wine that will only continue to develop over the next 50 years!

The fill level is excellent (into neck). The label is very slightly damaged and the capsule is in perfect condition.
