The Pavillon rouge 2010 from Château Margaux, a renowned producer in the Margaux region of Bordeaux, France, is a true gem of a wine. With its deep ruby red colour, it immediately captivates the eye. On the nose, one is met with an elegant bouquet of blackcurrant, cherry, and hints of cedar and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish. Flavours of dark fruits, such as blackberry and plum, are complemented by notes of spice and a touch of minerality. The 2010 vintage was exceptional in Bordeaux and it is evident in this Pavillon rouge, with its perfect balance of fruit, tannins, and acidity. This is a wine that will only continue to improve with age, making it a true treasure for any wine collector.
Winemakers Notes
Château Margaux, a founding Premier Cru Château Margaux is more than a major or even essential growth. It is a founding growth, since the imagery around it had such a decisive influence in shaping the very idea of how a Grand Vin should exist over time and space. Château Margaux’s renown stem equally from the intrinsic genius of the location as from the contributions made by the people who have served it for five centuries. Corinne Mentzelopoulos is one of those personalities that will leave a indelible mark on the great history of Château Margaux. Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, the story of a great second wine Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux took its name in 1908. After an eclipse between the thirties and the mid-seventies, its production restarted on the arrival of André Mentzelopoulos in 1977 and at first greatly increased in order to improve the quality of the first wine. From the mid-90s, the creation of a third wine in its turn, allowed for a more rigorous selection for Pavillon Rouge. The quality of Pavillon Rouge has become very close to that of the first wine because all the plots involved contributed to the blending of Château Margaux not so long ago. It may not have the same “magic” as its elder brother, but it definitely shares its flavours, its balance and the same subtle senses of power and softness.
