Pavillon Rouge 2015

Never before has the Margaux insistence on quality been so great for the Pavillon Rouge; today we are producing half as much as we did ten years ago. For the 2015 Pavillon Rouge no more than 23% of chateau Margaux harvest went into the blend. Thanks to this severity, the style of the Pavillon Rouge is continuing to approach that of the Grand Vin. The Cabernet Sauvignon constitutes 74% of the blend; it brings a dense texture, an ample palate and a long finish sustained by the peppered mint and sap aromas. The Merlot accounts for 21% of the blend and envelops the wine with a captivating silky veil. The 4% of Petit Verdot brings spicy aromas and the 1% of Cabernet Franc completes the blend. With its structure, its refinement and its length, the Pavillon Rouge 2015 is probably the best Pavillon Rouge that Margaux wine estate have ever produced.
