Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux 2020
CRITIC REVIEWS
Jeb Dunnuck
As to the reds, the 2020 Château Margaux Pavillon Rouge is classic Château Margaux with its finesse, elegance, and purity. A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot aged in 50% new French oak, it has a great perfume of cassis and darker cherries as well as notes of dried flowers, sandalwood, and graphite. Beautifully balanced, layered, and concentrated, its a gem of a second wine with plenty of Grand Vin character. It will benefit from just a few years of bottle age and keep for two decades.
William Kelley
The 2020 Pavillon Rouge is excellent, offering up aromas of raspberries and dark berries mingled with hints of cedar and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, vibrant palate with excellent depth and tension, concluding with a long, chalky finish. Its more tightly wound than the exceedingly demonstrative 2019, though in the fullness of time, it wouldnt surprise me if it ended up being just as good.
