2024 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, Margaux

2024 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, Margaux

A little charcoal on the nose with bright red berry fruit and and cocoa dusted cherry. Silky, sappy and saline it is a bright and vibrant style. It is a charming and mid-weight wine with a brightness and energy on the finish.

Tasting notes

High floral aromatics on the nose, marked by peony, white roses, lilac, chalky tannins, lovely purity of expression, complex aromatics that reflect berry fruits that are ripe without being heavy, with focus and precision. 3.62ph, 12.5% press wine, 30hl/h yield after sorting. Harvest September 23 to October 8. Less Merlot than usual both in Pavillon and in Margaux, and more Cabernet Franc (9%) in this, as a result of plantings a decade ago.

93/100

Incorporating more Cabernet Franc (as recent plantings mature) and more Cabernet Sauvignon than usual, the 2024 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux unwinds in the glass with aromas of sweet cassis, red berries, vanilla pod and violets, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and lively palate with good density, powdery tannins and lively acids. It checks in at 12.9% alcohol.
