Pavillon Rouge Du Ch. Margaux 2021

Description

We paid careful attention to our selections for the Pavillon Rouge, which represents only 30% of the 2021 vintage. Our vineyards have undergone significant restructuring over the past few years. A revelation among these plots at the time of tasting was a Cabernet Franc harvested from a clay soil plot previously used to grow Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine ended up constituting 4% of the final Pavillon Rouge blend, which is completed by 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. This wine has the very floral aromas characteristic of cooler vintages and is delicately tannic and silky on the palate.
