Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux 2005
Produced in France, this exceptional red wine hails from the Margaux appellation on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. As the esteemed second label of Château Margaux, a Premier Grand Cru Classé, it is crafted from grapes that do not quite meet the selection for the Grand Vin but still benefit from the estate's world-class terroir. The winery has been under the leadership of the Mentzelopoulos family since 1977, with Corinne Mentzelopoulos continuing her father André’s mission to uphold the estate's status as a masterpiece of neo-Palladian style and winemaking excellence.
Wine Description
The 2005 Pavillon Rouge is a landmark vintage, described as the most concentrated version of this label ever produced to date. It presents a deep ruby-purple colour and an intense bouquet of raspberry, cherry, and violets, layered with complex notes of cassis, cedar, tobacco, and a touch of Indian spices. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied and remarkably creamy, featuring silky, polished tannins and a lush, seductive mouthfeel. It balances its high alcohol and powerful concentration with a vibrant acidity and a long, refined finish marked by mineral and floral nuances. This blend typically consists of nearly 50% Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, and is currently in its prime drinking window through 2035.
