Over de Château Palmer Historical XIXth Century Wine 2014

Origin: On the occasion of a trip to the United States, we had the unique experience of tasting a Château Palmer 1869 at the home of a great wine collector. We began discussing the practice that was common at the time of blending fine Bordeaux wines with a small proportion of wine from the North of the Côtes du Rhône region. One can find a few bottles from this period bearing on their label the name Cru with the added mention “hermitagé” or “ermitagé” (the term refers precisely to the practice of adding wine from another region). This was of course before AOC regulations put an end to such practices. We decided that it would be interesting to experiment with this practice again with the wines we are making today. Name and label: The name chosen for this experimental batch, “Historical XIXth Century Wine”, is obviously a tribute to the great Bordeaux wines of the past and its many English roots. The blend of wines from different regions makes each wine lose its geographic origin and its status as a vintage from a specified region. According to wine regulations, or table wine must be written on the label, which can carry no reference to a specific origin.
