Blackcurrant, blackberry and Morello cherry with violet, cedar, graphite and forest‑floor notes. Medium–full bodied, ripe plush tannins, bright acidity and a long mineral, savory finish.

Hand‑harvested, strict parcel selection (≈27% of harvest), traditional vinification and élevage in French oak barrels for about 18–20 months.

Vineyard Info
Pavillon Rouge is the long‑standing second wine of Château Margaux (name used since 1908). Produced from selected plots of the Margaux estate, it follows the château's meticulous viticulture and cellar practices.
