Its elaboration keep the values and reputation of this great estate:

Palmer and Alter Ego are both subtle reflections of Château Palmer's terroir, two interpretations of the growing conditions in a given vintage.

Alter Ego is intensely fresh and fruity, juicy and irresistible. Smooth and round as soon as it has finished barrel ageing, Alter Ego's elegant bouquet and tannins can be appreciated within the first few years of bottling.

Tradition tells that the origin of the name comes from a spot where winegrowers could hear Angelus being rung simultaneously in the area’s three churches: the Chapel in Mazerat, the church of Saint-Martin-de-Mazerat and the church in Saint-Emilion. In 1909, Maurice de Bouard de Laforest purchased a 3-hectare vineyard, called Angelus, close to his vineyard of Château Mazerat. In 1954, when the Château was classified, Château Angelus became the final name. Nowadays, the third generation of family de Bouard de Laforest improves the business.

For information, the blend is mainly made up of Merlot Noir (50%), Cabernet Franc (47%) and traces of Cabernet-Sauvignon.
