Pavillon Rouge: The Height of Margaux Elegance

As the esteemed second wine of Château Margaux, Pavillon Rouge is crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail and selection criteria as the First Growth Grand Vin. It delivers the quintessential Margaux experience-finesse, complexity, and a velvety texture-making it a world-class wine in its own right, often outperforming the Grand Vins of other Châteaux.

Tasting Notes: Finesse and Depth

A blend predominantly featuring Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is the epitome of a classic Bordeaux:

• Aroma: Rich and fragrant, showcasing opulent black cherry and cassis fruit, complemented by floral notes of peony and violet, and classic secondary aromas of cedar chest and cigar box.
• Taste: The palate is generous and seamless, boasting a plush, velvety mouthfeel. It is structured yet elegant, with long, fine tannins and a vibrant freshness that promises excellent development over 10-15+ years.

Perfect British Pairings

Elevate your traditional dining with this magnificent claret:

• Food Matches: Traditional Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding, Venison Loin with Redcurrant Jus, Beef Wellington, or Mature Hard Cheeses like Aged Cheddar or Stilton.
• Service: Highly recommend decanting to allow the beautiful aromatics to fully open. Serve slightly below room temperature.
