Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux 2016

RM1,128.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Margaux’s second wine is made from a serious selection process that takes place at this First Growth Chateau. There is also a third wine called Margaux de Margaux (that is not sold En Primeur) and a fourth wine that is sold off in bulk. This severe selection means that the grand vin rarely represents more than 35% of production with Pavillon Rouge now only another 25%. This is half the production level of a decade ago. 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot in 2016, representing 26% of the harvest. This is a very high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon for Pavillon Rouge, bringing it closer to the Grand Vin in style. This shows in the form of pure cassis and violets, with an elegant black-fruited nose. The palate is silky with light, ripe tannins offering approachability on the palate. more about intensity than weight, with lots of blossoming fruit bringin elegance and poise.
