Vieux Château Palon (Montagne-St. Émilion)
Flowers and leafy herbs combine with sweet, ripe, red and black pit fruits to produce an elegant, soft, polished, medium-bodied, supple wine with sweetness, freshness, and good energy in the spice, accented, fruity finish. This should be delicious on release and provide pleasure for over a decade with ease. The wine blends 75% Merlot with 25% Cabernet Franc.

Vieux Château Palon (Montagne-St. Émilion)
Incense, espresso, cherries, plums and citrus form the nose. Soft and creamy, vibrant and bright, though the oak remains a part of the wine from start to finish. If it integrates, it will be a better wine. Drink from 2024-2034. 716 Views Tasted Mar 9, 2024Medium-bodied, round, forward and focused on its chocolate-covered, espresso-infused black cherry and plum profile, this is going to be quite a pleasure to enjoy in its youth for all of its lush, ripe, sweet, chocolatey fruits.

Vieux Château Palon (Montagne-St. Émilion)
The oak is quite on top at the moment, you can sense it in the mouth and on the palate, plus, there is a touch of volatile acidity which will hopefully better integrate with a few years of age. Medium-bodied, fresh and silky, the red fruits are ripe, but the oak is fairly dominant, so give it a few years of age before pulling a cork. Drink from 2023-2038. 2,483 Views Tasted Mar 21, 2023Spicy, stony and savory, the wine is lush, round and fleshy. Supple-textured and packed with ripe, deep red pit fruits, the wine leaves you with a silky, soft, polished, chocolate covered black cherry and espresso tinged finish. 90-92 Pts 3,122 Views Tasted May 20, 2021 |

Vanilla, smoke, espresso and dark cherries with a savory edge shine with little effort already.

Vieux Château Palon (Montagne-St. Émilion)
A notable depth of color, you'll find mineral driven, black raspberries, thyme, soft textures and sweet, salty red fruits in the finish. Medium bodied, juicy and chalky, a few years in the cellar will provide the necessary evolution. 2,637 Views Tasted Apr 26, 2018 |
