Château Palmer
CHARLES PALMER.
In 1814, Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Palmer made headlines. His conquests, both military and feminine, precede this future Major General of the British army and aide-de-camp to the Prince Regent, the future King George IV. Madame Marie Brunet de Ferrière, widow of Gascq, could not resist. During a long trip from Bordeaux to Paris, sitting by his side, the young widow sells him in one day the Médoc wine estate which she has just inherited. Without even having visited it, this son of a brewer from Bath became the owner of the Gascq estate, renowned for the quality of its wines since the beginning of the 18th century. In nearly 30 years, the gentleman worked to enlarge it, modernize it and give it a timeless style.
