2017 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, Margaux

2017 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, Margaux

Floral and elegant, with lovely texture and cool, fresh, crystalline fruit. They've used 60% new oak and it wears it well. The tannins are lovely and there's cool salinity and graphite on the palate.

Tasting notes

There is very pretty purity of fruit to this with lots of currant, strawberry and plum character. Lots of chocolate and hazelnut too. Full body, velvety tannins and a chewy finish. Excellent for the vintage. About half the normal production. This is the same level of quality as 2016.
