  Layers of black fruits and tight tannins set this wine on a serious road. It has the freshness of the vintage as well as the bright acidity. At the same time it is structured and dense. This second wine of Château Margaux is ripe and ethereal in its lift. Drink from 2024."

  Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, breiterer Wasserrand, feine Herzkirschen, süße Gewürze, etwas Vanille, dunkles Beerenkonfit unterlegt, etwas Cassis, Orangenzesten. Saftig, extraktsüß, elegant, frisch strukturiert, feine Holzwürze, bleibt sehr gut haften, bereits charmant und gut anhaftend, ein facettenreicher, mineralischer Speisenbegleiter."

  A delicious window into Margaux in this vintage, with plenty of personality that it shares with the main estate wine. Perhaps a little less depth than the 2016 vintage of Pavillon, but this is just begging to be drunk, with its subtle and softly spoken tannins, and blackberry and raspberry stretching out through the palate. Great quality, with finesse."

  Love the fruit and juicy character to this second wine of Margaux. Medium to full body, superfine tannins and a long finish. The freshness and savory finish are a big plus."

  Gorgeous, with a velvety, caressing feel, as warm plum sauce and blackberry confiture notes glide over a thoroughly embedded graphite edge. Rather lush, but light tobacco, bay and iron hints keep this focused even as the fruit takes center stage. Best from 2019 through 2029. 9,583 cases made."

  Floral, with earthy, red cherries and just a hint of tobacco on the nose. In the mouth, the wine is pure, fresh, elegant and lively. Medium bodied, with lots of freshness and elegant ed cherries, a few more years will even more silky qualities to the wine."

  The 2014 Pavillon Rouge is made from 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and a splash of Petit Verdot. It’s a beautiful second wine that shines for its elegance, as well as its sexy, sumptuous texture. Giving up lots of spice, dried flowers, sandalwood, and cassis fruits, it has more than a passing resemblance to its bigger sibling. With medium-bodied richness, sweet tannin, nicely integrated oak, and charming, character filled personality, I’d happily drink bottles any day over the coming two decades."

  Smudgy garnet. Leafy, youthful black fruit. On the palate this has lovely depth and length. The tannins are compact but polished. Everything in place for a long and elegant life. Really stands out among the Margaux wines tasted today."

  Lovely fragrance and purity of fruit - ‘We have gained perfect precision in the last 10 years’, said MD Paul Pontallier. It will be expressively elegant as it matures."

  77 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 22 % Merlot, 1 % Petit Verdot. Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Das sehr fruchtige, leicht blumige Bouquet tanzt zwischen roten Kirschen und Himbeeren hin und her, fein pfeffrige Note, ziemlich dicht im Ansatz. Im Gaumen wirkt er sehr frisch und es geht von der Frucht her genauso weiter. Er weist eine erstaunlich vife Säure auf und diese Rasse macht dann auch Länge. Wie schon in den letzten Jahren festgestellt, kommt der Pavillon dem Grand Vin von der Geschmacksreflektion immer näher. Hier liegen 18/20 in der Reife drin."

  Medium to deep garnet-brick in color, the 2014 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux rolls out with notes of redcurrant jelly and kirsch plus wafts of tar, mossy tree bark, and smoked meats. The medium-bodied palate delivers a great core of red berry preserves flavors with a grainy texture and refreshing acidity, finishing on a savory note."

  The Wine Advocate
  The 2014 Pavillon Rouge is a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Bottled in July 2016, it remains quite rich and outgoing on the nose with copious red cherry, blackberry and spice-box aromas. With aeration it reveals a little more sous-bois, the oak nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with a tightly knit opening. Certainly this has lost the corpulence that it showed in barrel, lost that puppy fat. Now the linearity comes through, engendered by the cool nights during the growing season, and still delivers that mineral-rich finish. I still maintain that it will need three years in bottle just to soften the tannins."
