Product detailed description
Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux 2011 was produced in a vintage that required very careful grape selection, and thanks to its rigorous selection, it has retained a distinct quality and character close to the style of its great role model. The wine shows the typical side of Margaux - elegance, finesse and precision, while offering a good balance between freshness and maturity.
The nose reveals notes of red and dark fruit, violets, cedar wood and fine spices. The palate is refined, with a smooth structure, well-integrated tannins and a fresh finish. Its balance makes it enjoyable now, but at the same time shows the ability to mature further and gradually develop complexity.
Serve at 16-18 ° C, we recommend decanting approximately 60 minutes before serving. It goes well with beef, lamb, game birds or mature cheeses.

Château Margaux
Château Margaux is located in the commune of the same name in the Haut-Médoc region and is one of the most famous wine estates in Bordeaux. Along with Lafite, Latour, and Haut-Brion, it is one of the four estates awarded the Premier Cru (1st Growth) category during the original Bordeaux Médoc classification of 1855.
Margaux is generally considered the most elegant of the 1st Growths and is consistently among the most expensive wines in the world. The dominant blend of Cabernet Sauvignon is complemented by a small amount of Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc.
The vineyard at Château Margaux has a complex combination of soils unique to this area. They consist of chalky clay beneath a top layer of coarse and fine gravel, which is very well-suited for Cabernet Sauvignon.
