96 James Suckling
This the greatest Pavillon Rouge ever made. Aromas of flowers, smoke, currants and raspberries follow through to a full body, with super silky tannins and a long, long finish. This is balanced and refined with wonderful depth. Hard to believe it's a second wine. Better after 2018.
18 Rene Gabriel
Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Fein florales Bouquet, rote Johannisbeeren und rote Pflaumen eine zart füllige Süsse dahinter zeigend. Cremiger Gaumen mit weichen Konturen, die Säure ist wunderschön eingebettet und der Wein endet mit einer milchigen Kaffeenote. Noch selten war der Pavillon Rouge so harmonisch von Beginn weg. Es gibt übrigens hier jetzt weniger Menge davon, weil ein Teil des Deklassements in den dritten Wein abserviert wird. Nur 38 % der Ernte wurde für diesen Wein selektioniert. Das ergab dann auch den besten Pavillon Rouge den ich je degustierte an einer Primeurprobe.<br/><br/>warten (2014 - 2028)

This is lovely, with a powerful backdrop of graphite and tar, harnessed by flavors of velvety plum, steeped fig and black currant preserves. The long incense- and black tea-filled finish completes the seduction. Refined, defined and poised. Best from 2014 through 2025. –JM<br/>.

The 2010 Pavillon Rouge has a delightful, elegant bouquet with wild strawberry, blackberry and cedar aromas, very well defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, veins of blue fruit emerging with time in the glass and with just a touch of salted liquorice towards the finish. This could be à point. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the BI Wines & Spirits 10-Year On tasting.

Producer
Château Margaux

Unarguably, the most stunning property amongst the Médoc châteaux, its grand façade matched with its dramatic tree-lined drive speaks volumes of the Château Margaux’s already impressive reputation. Built in the early 19th century, the château still stands tall representing centuries of past vine growers. Greek born, André Mentzelopoulos bought the estate in 1949, and since the 1980s, his daughter, Corinne Mentzelopoulos has followed in his well-built traditions. By 1983, the charming, now late Paul Pontallier joined the team, becoming technical director at only 27-years-old.  The traditional château, led by the young, but talented crew, has grown into one of Bodeaux’s best. The 262-hectare estate produces their signature Cabernet Sauvignon driven Grand Vin, Château Margaux. As well as a remarkable second wine, Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, and a pure Sauvignon Blanc, unique to Margaux, Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux.
