CRITIC REVIEWS
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
The 2013 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux has a medium garnet color, with a touch of brick. It gives up notes of dried cranberries, cherry cough syrup, and sauteed herbs, with hints of unsmoked cigars and cedar. The medium-bodied palate is lively and chewy, with faint suggestions of fruit and an herbal lift on the finish.

The 2013 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux, which represents only 21% of the harvest, is composed of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It possesses a medium ruby color as well as sweet kirsch and currant fruit intermixed with hints of spice box and loamy soil undertones. This soft, supple 2013 does not reveal any aggressive tannins, so it can be consumed over the next 7-8 years.
