Alter Ego de Palmer 是 Château Palmer 的另一種表達方式，自 1998 年推出以來，展現出瑪歌風土更奔放的果香與即飲的潛力。正牌 Château Palmer 曾以 1999 年份獲選為漫畫《神之水滴》第二門徒，彰顯酒莊的地位。
「所有偉大的風土都眺望俯瞰着吉宏達河（Gironde）。」酒莊位於 Plateau des Brauze 高原，冰河時期曾受加龍河（Garonne River）沖刷，留下獨特的礫石土壤。Alter Ego 所用的葡萄來自 Château Palmer 精心管理的地塊，同樣承載四個世紀以來對風土的尊重與探索。
Alter Ego 通常使用較高比例的 Merlot（約 45%），搭配 Cabernet Sauvignon 和 Petit Verdot。這種做法令 Alter Ego 成為「另一個我」—— 既承載 Château Palmer 的靈魂，又展現獨立個性。
自 2004 年起，釀酒師 Thomas Duroux 掌舵酒莊，推動全面採用生物動力法（Biodynamics），並減少使用二氧化硫；令副牌酒也能真實呈現風土本質，展現 Château Palmer 的釀酒哲學。

2015 年的 Alter Ego de Palmer 呈中至深的石榴紅-紫色，香氣迷人，散發成熟李子、黑加侖子與碎櫻桃的果香。焚香、薰衣草與朱古力香氣隨後而來。酒體中等，結構細緻，口感活潑，餘韻優雅細膩。

Alter Ego de Palmer is a distinct expression of Château Palmer, first released in 1998 to reveal a more vibrant and approachable facet of Margaux’s terroir. While the Grand Vin was honored as the Second Apostle in the renowned manga The Drops of God for its 1999 vintage.
“All great terroirs overlook the river.” The vineyards lie on the Plateau des Brauzes, a gravelly rise shaped by the Garonne River across two ice ages. The grapes selected for Alter Ego come from parcels meticulously managed by the estate, reflecting four centuries of dedication to this exceptional land.
With a typically higher proportion of Merlot (around 45%), complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, Alter Ego delivers supple texture, vivid fruit, and layered complexity. It is, quite literally, the “other self” of Palmer—sharing its soul, yet speaking in a different tone.
Since 2004, Château Palmer has been led by visionary winemaker Thomas Duroux, who transitioned the estate to biodynamic viticulture and reduced the use of sulphur dioxide. These practices, applied equally to Alter Ego, allow the wines to express their origin with purity, depth, and authenticity.

The 2015 Alter Ego de Palmer has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and gorgeous nose of ripe plums, cassis and crushed cherries with touches of incense, lavender and chocolate box. Medium-bodied, very finely crafted and vivacious in the mouth, it finishes with great elegance and finesse.

This is sensational, characterized by such purity and beauty and with aromas of blackberries, dark chocolate, walnuts, cedar and lavender. Full-bodied, tight and focused — in part thanks to sensational tannin tension that is intense yet polished... Great second wine of Palmer.
