The 2015 Vieux Chateau Palon from Montagne-Saint-Émilion is a Merlot driven Right Bank Bordeaux with Cabernet Franc in support. The 2015 vintage on the Right Bank is considered one of the strongest of the decade, marked by optimal ripening conditions that brought both richness and definition to the wines.
In the glass, the wine shows layered black cherry, plum, and cassis with notes of cocoa, baking spice, and subtle earth. There is a supple generosity to the mid palate, yet it remains structured, with finely grained tannins providing shape and length. Hints of tobacco, cedar, and dried herbs add complexity, reflecting both vineyard character and careful élevage.
