“The nose reveals aromas of smoke, plum, and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and rounded, with notes of plum, black pepper, and cedar. The tannins are firm and chalky.” — Ronalds Pētersons, Sommelier at Noble Wine

Pavillon Rouge Margaux 2021 is the second wine of the legendary Château Margaux, produced from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grown in the prestigious Margaux AOC of Bordeaux, France. It reflects the estate's commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality and elegance. The 2021 vintage beautifully expresses the classic Margaux terroir, renowned for its refined structure, balance, and aromatic complexity. Contains sulphites.

Château Margaux is one of the most known wineries in Bordeaux, located in the Médoc, just east of Margaux itself. Along with Lafite, Latour, Mouton Rothschild and Haut-Brion, it was recognized as the first growth of Bordeaux in the original 1855 Classification of the Médoc. In general, Margaux is considered the most graceful of the first growths and remains one of the most expensive wines in the world.

Pavillon Rouge Margaux 2021 opens with a bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry, and red plum, interwoven with notes of violet, cedar, and tobacco. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and vibrant acidity. Layers of dark berries, graphite, and subtle spice lead to a long, elegant finish. The wine is celebrated for its depth, finesse, and harmonious integration of fruit and oak.

Pavillon Rouge Margaux 2021 pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, or duck breast, where its structure and complex flavours complement the richness of the meat. It is equally well suited to aged cheeses and dishes served with truffle or mushroom sauces, creating a refined and memorable dining experience.

A single-varietal Cabernet Franc wine has medium body and exhibit graphite, green bell pepper and red licorice notes, with darker wines showing more cigar and leather flavors.
The wines of the Margaux appellation could be called the most feminine and elegant of the Médoc region. The soil here is very porous and conducts water well, which is one of the factors for the soft and silky structure of the wines. It is essential to watch out for bad vintage years, as the wines can be watery. Along with the aroma of blackcurrant, Margaux wines have notes of violets and excellent perfumes. New wines are initially introverted and only reveal their elegant aromas and silky flavors with time.
Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
