Chateau Margaux Pavillon Rouge 2022

Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux is the second wine of Chateau Margaux, offering elegance, finesse, and approachability earlier than the grand vin. It shows refined notes of red and black fruits, violets, cedar, and subtle spice, supported by silky tannins and fresh acidity. Balanced and polished, it reflects the Margaux style with a softer, more accessible structure while maintaining aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with lamb, duck, roasted meats, veal, and medium-aged cheeses.
