Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux 2011

The second sibling of the illustrious Château Margaux, this gorgeous second wine is not to be overlooked. The quality is not far from that of the first wine, as Pavillon Rouge is cultivated on plots that once would have contributed to the blending of Château Margaux. Steeped in history, Château Margaux can date itself back to the sixteenth century. Currently a First Growth property, the estate creates some of the finest wines in the Médoc. Owned by the Mentzepoulos family since 1977, Margaux has consistently created exceptional wines under the same family for the past five decades and the Pavillon Rouge is no exception. Expect a similar style to the first wine, imbued with a similar sense of softness and abundance of flavour. Ready to drink earlier than the first wine, Pavillon Rouge still has good ageing potential.
