PAVILLON ROUGE du Château Margaux 1996

Wine 1996 Second wine Bordeaux Margaux

Le Pavillon Rouge is the second wine of Château Margaux. It comes from the same vineyards and benefits from the estate's expertise. Le Pavillon Rouge is made from lots that are not selected for the grand vin, generally from vines that are still too young. It offers a more accessible expression of Château Margaux's style. More supple and fruity in its youth, it allows you to discover the finesse and elegance of this prestigious First Growth.

That year, flowering was very quick, with an irregular summer alternating between warm and cool periods. The harvest took place under sunny conditions.
Château Margaux continues to increase its selection standards for the first wine, which leads many very good components to join this second wine. Pavillon Rouge 1996 from Château Margaux has a very fine nose still full of fruit, with a supple and fleshy palate. This wine is drinking very well now.

Jean-Marc Quarin March - 2009
Jean-Marc Quarin
Pleasure rating………. Dark color, medium intensity and evolved. Both noses are similar. The presence of an aging bouquet distinguishes them from younger wines. The aromatic note is also less ripe than in younger vintages. A creamy aspect is appealing, but the nose is neither deep nor complex. "A different generation of wines" Paul Pontallier will say. The palate lacks a little body. Beneath its slightly lively aspect - the effect of less fruit maturity than in younger vintages - emerges the typical and mysterious sweetness of Bordeaux wines reaching their peak. This sweetness will be amplified by decanting. The length is defined more in aroma than in body.

Château Margaux

Château Margaux is one of the most prestigious estates of the Margaux appellation and a major historical figure of Bordeaux excellence. Classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé during the official 1855 classification, the château relies on a terroir of fine and deep gravels that favors the expression of a wine of rare elegance and great aromatic complexity.

The Grand Vin of Château Margaux has been recognized since the 17th century as one of the most accomplished expressions of the Bordeaux vineyard. It owes its qualities to the combination of an exceptional terroir, demanding viticulture and vinification work oriented towards precision and balance. Tannic finesse, aromatic depth, freshness and length on the palate constitute the constant markers of the Margaux style.

Iconic vintages such as Château Margaux 1899, Château Margaux 1949, Château Margaux 1953, Château Margaux 1982, Château Margaux 1990, Château Margaux 1990, Château Margaux 2000 or the iconic Château Margaux 2015 illustrate the estate's capacity to produce wines of great complexity, capable of evolving harmoniously over several decades, while maintaining a remarkable readability of their terroir.
