Margaux AOC Premier Grand Cru Classe' 'Pavillon Rouge' 2018 (750 ml.) Chateau Margaux
Sold under the name 'Château Margaux 2nd wine', it took on the definitive name of Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux in 1908. After an eclipse between the 1930s and the mid-1970s, production resumed as soon as André Mentzelopoulos arrived in 1977. The quality of Pavillon Rouge has come very close to that of the first wine because the plots that make it up participated, not long ago, in the blending of Château Margaux. The aromas are similar, and the balance in the mouth arises from the same subtle balance of power and sweetness. It is usually ready to drink a little earlier while having excellent aging potential well beyond 30 or 40 years.

THE WINE
Sold under the name of 'Château Margaux 2nd wine', it took on the definitive name of Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux in 1908. After an eclipse between the 1930s and the mid-1970s, production resumed as soon as André Mentzelopoulos arrived in 1977. The quality of Pavillon Rouge has come very close to that of the first wine because the plots that make it up had recently participated in the assembly of Château Margaux. The aromas are similar and the balance in the mouth arises from the same subtle equilibrium of power and sweetness. It is usually ready to drink a bit earlier while having excellent aging potential well beyond 30 or 40 years.
THE ESTATE
Château Margaux has existed since at least the 12th century, but it was in the second half of the 1500s that it became known for wine production thanks to Pierre de Lestonnac, who, after purchasing the estate, decided to implement vine cultivation. By the early 18th century, the estate already covered about 265 hectares, one third of which was dedicated to viticulture, an area that approximately corresponds to the current one. From management to management, it was in 1810 that the Marquis de Colonilla Bertrand Duat ordered the construction of the castle in neo-Palladian style, which can still be admired today, but it was especially in 1977 that the arrival of the Greek magnate André Mentzelopoulos brought significant investments, involving prominent professionals like the oenologist Emile Peynaud. Subsequently, the estate was managed by various joint companies - how can we not remember the Agnelli family in controlling the majority shareholding - and is now once again entirely in the hands of the Mentzelopoulos family, with Corinne having succeeded her father André, who passed away in 1980. With an annual production of about 150,000 bottles of Château Margaux, alongside 200,000 of Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux and about 35,000 of Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, every time there is an opportunity to open a bottle of Château Margaux it is nothing short of an exceptional and unforgettable event, which certainly does not happen frequently.
