2014 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, Margaux, Bordeaux

Tasting wine at Ch. Margaux is one of the greatest parts of our job: it’s a true privilege. This wine has great harmony and persistence in 2014. It has a beautiful elegance, and wears the domination of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend with real harmony. A pure expression of Margaux, there are spicy black fruits on the palate and ripe, red fruits on the nose. Showing real purity, freshness and real polish, elegance and length, it is beautifully layered too. Softly-textured, the spice is really attractive. Just 24 percent of the crop went into Pavillon Rouge in 2014. Concentrated, pure tannins linger on the long and satisfying finish.

77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot
