2011 Pavillon Rouge du Ch. Margaux

Pavillon Rouge du Ch. Margaux
The emphasis here is very much on finesse, not power. There is a wealth of ripe, red fruit on the nose with a piercing degree of purity. On the palate the fruit is again wonderfully pure and beautifully layered, with lovely interplay between the different grape varieties and the oak.

Texturally the wine is very soft and graceful because the tannins, although abundant, are exceptionally fine-grained. The finish is all about elegance, but the wine has great harmony and persistence and clearly has a considerable future.

Pavillon Rouge du Ch. Margaux
Beautiful fragrant purity of fruit, crystal clear, a feminine style of wine with taffeta, lissom texture and length for the future.

Pavillon Rouge du Ch. Margaux
The 2011 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux is one of the finest examples of this cuvée I have ever tasted. It hit 13% natural alcohol and represents only 28% of the harvest. This blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc reveals more structure than most vintages in addition to lots of dark berry fruit intermixed with hints of wood smoke, forest floor and spring flowers. Very pure with striking minerality as well as a long finish, it should drink well for two decades or more.

Pavillon Rouge du Ch. Margaux
Combines both silky texture and good tension, with a light chalky thread running through the middle of the almost plush plum and blackberry fruit. There's a bright cassis bush edge as well (telltale of the Petit Verdot component), and overall there's a very suave feel through the finish, with a lingering jasmine edge.
