2000 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux, Margaux
WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Time-honored techniques still prevail here. Grapes are manually harvested and sorted. The wine is fermented in oak vats and aged in Tronçais oak barrels as for the first wine. In general, though, Pavillon Rouge is bottled three to four months earlier than Château Margaux.
