PAVILLON ROUGE du Château Margaux 1990

Wine 1990 Second wine Bordeaux Margaux

Pavillon Rouge is the second wine of Château Margaux. It comes from the same vineyards and benefits from the estate's expertise. Pavillon Rouge is made from lots that are not selected for the grand vin, generally from vines that are still too young. It offers a more accessible expression of Château Margaux's style. More supple and fruity in its youth, it allows you to discover the finesse and elegance of this prestigious First Growth.

The weather conditions were similar to those of 1989, with a very hot and dry summer. As a result, the young vines were likely suffering from drought. Fortunately, the September rains were extremely beneficial for the final ripening of the grapes, which were harvested under sunny conditions.
Pavillon Rouge 1990 from Château Margaux is so delicious to drink today that it would be a shame not to enjoy it now. This second wine is particularly fine, subtle and charming. It greatly resembles the Grand Vin of the same vintage, although without the same power and aging potential.

Beautiful purple colour. Very elegant nose. Precious wood, chocolate. The palate is rich, juicy, dense. Still a lovely ageing potential. Very, very beautiful length (more than a minute).

Dark red. Medium to good intensity. Evolved. Clean. Medium intensity. Very ripe fruit, quite fresh and complete for a second wine, but with a vegetal touch. More animal note, but not too much. Appealing. Still a green touch. Supple, caressing and quite rich entry, developing roundly with softness on savoury and fine tannins. The whole melts in the mouth without any harshness and it's quite delicious. The most interesting aspect remains the appealing nuance.

The 1990 is a lovely wine, with a fragrant bouquet, soft, medium-bodied, smooth-as-silk flavors, fine concentration, enough acidity for focus, and a fine finish.

Mid ruby. Ripe and rich on the nose but not at all heavy. Lots of evolution and some warmth and sweetness. Edge of earthiness. Lots of pleasure. Still quite fresh. Excellent balance. Light dustiness. At its peak now? Clean, not heavy. Heady and charming.

Château Margaux

Château Margaux is one of the most prestigious estates of the Margaux appellation and a major historical figure of Bordeaux excellence. Classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in the official 1855 classification, the château draws on a terroir of fine, deep gravels that encourages the expression of a wine of rare elegance and great aromatic complexity.

The Grand Vin de Château Margaux has been recognised since the 17th century as one of the most accomplished expressions of the Bordeaux vineyard. It owes its qualities to the combination of an exceptional terroir, demanding viticulture and a winemaking approach oriented towards precision and balance. The finesse of the tannins, the aromatic depth, the freshness and the length on the palate are the constant hallmarks of the Margaux style.

The great vintages punctuate its history, from the 1953 wine, then the 1982 vintage to the 1990 and the 2000 vintage, through to the 2015, regarded as one of the estate's recent pinnacles. Le Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, the second wine, offers a more immediate interpretation. They illustrate the estate's ability to produce wines of great complexity, capable of evolving harmoniously over several decades, whilst retaining a remarkable clarity of their terroir.
