Pavillon Rouge de Château Margaux - Margaux - Rouge - 2023

As a second wine, it bears only the name.

When we tasted the 2023 Pavillon, we all wondered if the château had mistakenly served us the Grand Vin first. What a second wine! What finesse of style!

Pavillon Rouge de Château Margaux is a standout in the Margaux galaxy. Marked by the estate's great Cabernet Sauvignons, making up 79% this year—the highest proportion since 2016—it offers remarkable class, carried by a firm, well-structured body, with admirable mid-palate precision and a masterful graphite drive.

Following in the footsteps of its elder sibling, the 2023 vintage impresses with its natural elegance, bolstered by parcels planted twenty years ago for the Grand Vin that are now coming into play. Once again, Pavillon Rouge charms unanimously, combining allure and roundness with supreme refinement. This is a savory and juicy wine, supported by 50% new oak aging, with a precise, fruit-forward profile resting on high-quality sap.

Indulge in the inimitable style of Château Margaux with this 2023 red Pavillon! Rated 92-94/100 by Parker, this wine is closing the gap with its illustrious predecessor at a rapid pace!
