Description
Join Demetri Walters MW over an intimate Long Room dinner and hear about the history and fortunes of one of Bordeaux’s great estates. General Palmer was on Wellington’s staff as the British army advanced out of the Iberian Peninsula in 1814 and into south-west France. It has been suggested, perhaps rather salaciously, that the General concluded the agreement to purchase the, then named Ch. de Gascq, whilst in the back of a carriage with the chatelaine. In any case, when Ch. Palmer produces a really great vintage it is as profound and seductive a Claret as you will find.
