Pavillon rouge du Château Margaux

Pavillon rouge du Château Margaux rouge Margaux (Ch.Margaux) 2020 0,75l

Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux is the estate’s refined second wine, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc in support. The bouquet is deep and perfumed, showing blackcurrant, ripe cherry and plum alongside violet, liquorice, graphite and hints of garrigue. On the palate it is dense yet silky, with fine-grained tannins, ripe acidity and impressive length. Dark berry fruit, cedar, tobacco and warm spice are harmoniously interwoven, clearly referencing the style of the grand vin. The texture is smooth but structured, leading into a layered, persistent finish that makes Pavillon Rouge an excellent partner for lamb, beef, game birds and slow-cooked dishes.

Ageing for 16 months in oak casks gives Pavillon Rouge structure and fine spice without covering its elegant fruit.
