Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux 2021

Château Margaux, a fascinating 1st Grand Cru Classé 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. She has been presiding over the destiny of the estate since her father tragically passed away in 1980. She has honored this heritage, vintage after vintage, all the while questioning herself with the aim of projecting Château Margaux into the future. 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. The 2021 vintage, a fine and silky wine For many years, important efforts have been made to restructure the vineyard and to implement a particularly demanding selection. The pleasant surprise of the blends was the tasting of a very young plot of Cabernet Franc on clay, formerly planted in Cabernet-Sauvignon. The wine presents very floral aromas typical of relatively fresh vintages. Then in the mouth, its tannic structure is silky and of a remarkable finesse.
