2013 | Chateau Margaux | Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux

This wine is tight and structured, although it does also have ripe, almost jammy fruit. There is a touch of black currant that brings out some warmth and roundness to the palate, making the wine feel more complete at this early stage.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2013 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux, which represents only 21% of the harvest, is composed of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It possesses a medium ruby color as well as sweet kirsch and currant fruit intermixed with hints of spice box and loamy soil undertones. This soft, supple 2013 does not reveal any aggressive tannins, so it can be consumed over the next 7-8 years.

• James Suckling: A very perfumy, elegant style, with sandalwood, rooibos tea and bergamot notes, backed by fine, dusty structure and a lingering hint of cherry paste. The selection here was just 21% of the crop, and this is the smallest amount of Pavillon Rouge ever produced.

Producer Information

Château Margaux is one of Bordeaux's most famous wine estates, located just east of Margaux itself in the Médoc. Along with Lafite, Latour and Haut-Brion, it was rated as a first growth in the original 1855 Bordeaux Classification of the Médoc. Generally, Margaux is considered as the most elegant of the first growths, and is consistently one of the most expensive wines in the world. The Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend is complimented with small portions of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Château Margaux's vineyards have a complex combination of soils that are unique to the area. These consist of chalky clay under a top layer of coarse and fine gravels, which is well-suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, which accounts for around 75 percent of plantings. Merlot makes up a further 20 percent, with the rest planted to Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
