Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux 2022

Wineadvocate

The 2022 Pavillon Rouge is deep and perfumed, wafting from the glass with notions of cherries, raspberry preserve, lilac, violets and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated palate that's deep, rich and vibrant, with a tannic grain that resembles the grand vin this year. It represents just under a third of the estate's production. - WK 04/2023

Beck

Le bouquet du Pavillon Rouge est subtil et précis. Il affiche d'invitantes nuances de fruits noirs ainsi que de la fraîcheur. Le vin surprend par sa densité en attaque. Il est crémeux, compact et doté de tannins veloutés, parfaitement intégrés. Je relève, surtout, une étonnante énergie, couplée à de la puissance et du tempérament. Le vin brille de son harmonie et pose les jalons. Il annonce le 1er vin avec sérénité ! - 04/2023

Suckling

Rich and dense with lots of fruit and juiciness. Redcurrants, black berries, strawberries and orange peel on the nose. Full and layered with fine, velvety tannins and a juicy finish. Big presence. - 04/2023

You could easily mistake the 2022 Pavillon Rouge De Margaux for the Grand Vin here, and truth be told, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this actually evolve better than some of the Grand Vins from just over 10-15 years ago. A blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot (the second wine got all the Petit Verdot in 2022), it offers a deep, medium to full-bodied, seamless profile as well as solid framboise, darker raspberry, currants, sandalwood, and spice aromatics, silky tannins, and outstanding length. The purity and precision paired with this level of texture and richness far exceeds the vast majority of second wines out there. - 05/2023
