video🍷 Wine Wednesday - Château Palmer with Markus Gladitsch 🍇
In this Wine Wednesday conversation, Jana Kreilein is joined by Markus Gladitsch to explore three connected ideas shaping the future of wine at dVIN. They begin with the story behind Château Palmer 2014, XIX Century, a rare cuvée inspired by 19th-century Bordeaux practices, including the historical use of Hermitage Syrah. The discussion covers why Palmer revisits this tradition only in select vintages, and what makes this wine distinct in texture, structure, and intent.
