Tasting notes
"Blended of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and an expressive, alluringly spicy nose of cloves, cinnamon stick and fenugreek with a core of red and black currants, black cherries and wild blueberries plus a waft of pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied with very fine, grainy tannins and wonderful freshness, it finishes long and satisfying." - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

More About The Winery
Among the most legendary names in Bordeaux, Château Margaux is a Premier Grand Cru Classé of 1855 and a cornerstone of the Médoc’s Left Bank reputation. Established on the same land it occupies since the 17th century, the estate spans 262 hectares, with around 80 hectares under vine, dedicated to crafting some of the world’s most exquisite wines.
The vineyards are planted predominantly with Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, on soils of deep gravel and clay-limestone. This unique terroir yields wines of finesse, sensuality, and complexity, renowned for their aromas of violet, rose, and black berries, layered with impeccable structure and length.
In 1977, the estate entered a new era under André Mentzelopoulos, whose vision and investment restored Margaux’s brilliance. His daughter, Corinne Mentzelopoulos, has since carried forward his legacy, elevating Château Margaux to even greater international acclaim.
The Grand Vin is considered one of the most elegant and age-worthy wines in the world, defined by refined tannins, purity of fruit, and shocking length, while the second wine, Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, and the white, Pavillon Blanc, showcase the estate’s pedigree with earlier accessibility.
