PAVILLON ROUGE du Château Margaux 1993

Wine 1993 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 one to discover the finesse and elegance of this prestigious Premier Grand Cru Classé.

Tasting note: The 1993 Pavillon Rouge is rather light, but fine and well-balanced with a slightly vegetal note that slowly fades as the wine ages in the bottle. However, it is not up to the standard of recent Pavillon Rouge vintages and is unlikely to improve with further ageing.

Grape Variety/Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon (~75%), Merlot (~20%), Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot (~5%) (variations are possible from one vintage to another)

Ageing: 18 to 24 months in new oak barrels

Maturity: Mature wine

Food and Wine Pairing: Grilled red or white meat, Milk-fed lamb, Ceps, Hard cheeses

Blood red. Medium intensity. Evolved. Clean. Medium intensity. Discreet. Notes of cedar and dead leaf. There is still fruit. Quite clean (no vegetal). Paul Pontallier would have preferred to make a third wine so as not to have this type of taste which he judges a bit dry. For my part, it is true that the style close to wines of yesteryear because of these notes of tea and dead leaf surprises. However, the structure is not dry and the wine remains smooth.

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.
