Pavillon rouge du Château Margaux
In the heart of Margaux, Pavillon rouge du Château Margaux serves as the estate’s second signature—closer to the source, yet shaped for earlier approachability than the Grand Vin.
Conceived as a second wine from the pursuit of selection, it took its permanent name in 1908. After a long eclipse, production was revived with André Mentzelopoulos’ arrival in 1977, and the later creation of a third wine enabled even tighter sorting for Pavillon Rouge, parcel by parcel.
Cabernet Sauvignon typically forms the spine, supported by Merlot and, when the year allows, touches of Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc. A measured élevage in oak barrels for roughly six to eight months and meticulous blending aim for line, perfume and finesse—Margaux defined by precision rather than excess. Each vintage.Pavillon rouge du Château Margaux
