Vinification
Pavillon Rouge is made with the same precision and care as the Grand Vin. The grapes come from the estate’s characteristic parcels and are carefully selected and vinified parcel by parcel. Cabernet Sauvignon forms the foundation of the blend, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The wine is aged for around 20 months, almost 60% of which is in new French oak barriques. This ageing contributes to fine structure, a silky texture and well-integrated oak.

About Ch. Margaux
Château Margaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine estates, located in the Médoc. The estate covers 265 hectares and was classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé under the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Following a difficult period in the 1970s, the estate was acquired in 1977 by André Mentzelopoulos, who invested heavily in the vineyards and the quality of the wine. After his death in 1980, his daughter Corinne Mentzelopoulos took over the estate and continued his vision. In the early 1990s, she entered into a partnership with the Agnelli family. In 2003, she bought back their share and once again became the sole owner. Under her leadership, Château Margaux grew into one of the absolute benchmarks of the great wines of Bordeaux.
