Description

Blend: 53% Cabernet Sauvignon; 43% Merlot; 4% Petit Verdot.

Perhaps even more so this year than usual, Alter Ego is more a mini-Palmer than a second wine. The blend is almost identical for both wines; the different is just a question of intensity more than style. This has many of the grand vin’s expressive red-fruit notes from the Merlot, with complexity coming from the Cabernet. Thomas Duroux believes that Merlot on great terroir can work just as well as Cabernet. This is just a little looser knit than the grand vin, but that just means that corks can be pulled earlier. It is very good indeed.

Drink 2028 - 2040
