Here is the fabulous second wine from Château Margaux. The 2017 vintage has a remarkable tannic structure that is at once powerful and smooth. Its 76% Cabernet Sauvignon gives it an exceptionally long finish. The 17% Merlot largely contributes to Pavillon Rouge’s soft, fruity aromatic expression. This wine also contains 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.

The 2017 Pavillon Rouge is soft, luscious and very pretty. Sweet red cherry, red plum, mint, spice, blood orange, cedar and tobacco contribute lovely touches of freshness. There is some firmness in the tannin that needs time in bottle to soften; otherwise, the 2017 is very nicely done. This is a very pretty, classy wine built on aromatic depth and persistence more than anything else. Antonio Galloni1st March 2020

Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Enticing and floral nose – violets, cherry blossom – accented with baking spices. Bright and crunchy on the palate, this is a compact and well-proportioned style. Slightly heavy on toast and cedar for now. The oak should integrate with time and there is structure to suggest potential moving forward. (TP)Tom Parker16th September 2021

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.
