Product Description
The 2021 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux showcases a harmonious blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. The wine is imbued with the tell-tale floral scents of cooler vintages, culminating in a delicate tannic structure and a silky palate.
Tasting Notes
Vinous 92
The 2021 Pavillon Rouge is bright and beautifully focused. A slender, vibrant Pavillon Rouge, the 2021 impresses with energy more than volume. Bright acids lift a core of red plum fruit, blood orange, cinnamon and rose petal. Saline notes extend the finish. Today, the 2021 is a bit clenched, but that should not be an issue in a few years’ time.
Anticipated maturity: 2031-2046
Robert Parker 91-93
Aromas of plums, raspberries and sweet spices introduce the 2021 Pavillon Rouge, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and vibrant wine that’s impressively rich and mouthfilling, revealing a deep core of fruit framed by powdery tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long, saline finish. The blend is 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, and Philippe Bascaules observes that parcels planted 20 years ago and destined for the grand vin when they’re a bit older are increasingly making the cut for Pavillon Rouge.
