Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux 2001 is a red wine from the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. This second wine is produced with the same rigour as the Grand Vin, utilising fruit from the estate`s younger vines and specific gravel parcels. The 2001 vintage is a classicist`s dream, showing the elegance and perfume of Margaux with a more approachable structure than the 2000. It features a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, providing notes of cassis, pencil shavings and dried rose petals with fine-grained tannins. For the expert consumer, Pavillon Rouge 2001 offers a high-level introduction to the aristocratic style of the property, delivering a wine of great balance and aromatic complexity that has reached a beautiful point of maturity in the bottle.

The 2001 Pavillon Rouge de Château Margaux has held up nicely over the past two decades. Brambly red fruit features on the nose, along with touches of undergrowth and rose petal, and orange peel percolates up with aeration in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle, pliant tannins. Soft in texture, maybe, yet well balanced and fresh with a graceful raspberry and cranberry finish, this Deuxième Vin continues to give pleasure. Neal Martin1st September 2021

Relatively light nose, but very appetising on the palate. Nice, fresh tannins. Good texture. Sweetish and charming. Well delineated. Neat, fresh acidity. Another relatively lightweight wine from this property. (JR)

A Legacy of Fine Wine

Château Margaux is one of the most striking constructions in the Bordeaux appellation, a large grand house built in the early 18th century on an estate that has been producing fine wine for hundreds of years, with a history dating back to the 12th century Bordeaux wine tradition. Quality was known to fluctuate in the first half of the 20th century, but that period of inconsistency ended with the arrival of wunderkind Paul Pontallier, a talented winemaker who worked nearly 35 vintages and produced some of the greatest wines in living memory. Paul passed on in 2016, and the team is now led by Philippe Bascaules and Sebastien Vergne, with consultancy from Eric Boissenot.

82 hectares are dedicated to red wine vines, with around 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Château Margaux produces around 30,000 cases of wine annually, with the Grand Vin accounting for around 35% of that total. Among their celebrated wines is Pavillon Rouge, the second wine of the estate, which stands as a testament to the estate's commitment to quality.

In addition to their renowned red wines, Château Margaux also produces a limited quantity of Sauvignon Blanc, adding another layer to their esteemed collection of Margaux wines. This white wine complements their offerings and demonstrates the estate’s versatility.
