Description

The 2012 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux is the second wine of Chateau Margaux. This Pavillon Rouge has a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

This Margaux wine exhibits more structure and masculinity than one normally expects. It has a deep ruby purple color, nice floral and blackcurrant notes, some spice box, moderate tannin and medium body. This is a Pavillon Rouge that should admirably stand the test of time for 15-20 years. Its impressively long finish adds to its appeal and value. This Pavillon Rouge wine will actually benefit from several years of bottle age and keep for 20 years.

Since the 17th Century, the first wine of Château Margaux has been recognised as being one of the greatest wines in the entire world. It owes its unique qualities to the genius of its terroir as well as to the passionate work of a succession of generations. With its own legacy dating back to the 17th century, the Second Wine of Château Margaux, officially named Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux in 1908, is just as important part of the estate’s history as its Grand Vin.
