In 1814 Charles Palmer, a British colonel purchased the Château de Gascq from Madame de Ferrière. After changing the name to Château Palmer, he invested everything to expand and improve the estate. He would be obligated to sell the property to his creditors, the caisse hypothéciare in 1843, before he passed away in the same year. In 1855, the estate was ranked as a third growth in the 1855 classification. Purchased by four Bordeaux families in 1938, the estate is still owned by the Sichel and Mâhler-Besse families.
