Less complex in style and reaching maturity earlier than its illustrious parent, Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux is a sublime reflection of its terroir. The unmistakable Margaux bouquet which allies refined fruit, floral and vinous aromas is confirmed on the palate in a wine of generous yet elegant black fruit and cassis flavors set in a firm, harmonious structure supported by soft, ripe tannins ending in a long finish.
