Tasted at the chateau. The elusive white from Palmer is a blend of 50% Muscadelle, around 35% Loset and 15% Sauvignon Gris that are aged in used oak. It has a lovely nose reminiscent of the southern Rhone: lanolin, dried honey and a touch of pear. The palate has a slight viscosity on the entry. There is a pleasant fatness to this wine matched by the acidity, whilst the finish is refined and long with spicy, waxy finish. As Thomas Duroux says – this is just a bit of fun, but it testifies just how good the wine is. Just 1,200 bottles for private release. Tasted November 2012.

Tasted at the Château Palmer vertical in London, the 2010 Château Palmer Blanc is a blend of 49% Muscadelle, 37% Loset and 14% Sauvignon Gris that is aged in used oak. This is the second time that I have tasted this particular "unicorn" wine. The nose is still reminiscent of a Southern Rhône, albeit with more glycerine than I remember, bottle age enhancing its viscosity with scents of lemon curd, puff pastry and almond macaroons. The palate is rounded to the point of plumpness, its heaviness in the mouth countered by a fine bead of acidity. Pear drop and peach develop towards the easy-drinking, pleasant finish with tropical touches on the aftertaste. This cuvée is not commercially available - just 100 cases for private consumption - though on the rare occasion that I have encountered a bottle, I have always enjoyed it. Tasted May 2015.
