Pavillon Rouge 2ème Vin Du Château Margaux Margaux - Magnum 1,5L, 2004

Pavillon Rouge 2004 is the second wine of the iconic Château Margaux, offering a refined glimpse into one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated estates. Crafted from the same outstanding vineyard and with the same exacting standards as the grand vin, it combines elegance, structure, and early approachability in a way that makes it especially appealing to collectors and Bordeaux lovers alike. As the historic second label of a First Growth property, it carries both pedigree and accessibility.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Pavillon Rouge 2004 shows a deep ruby garnet hue with subtle signs of maturity at the rim. The nose is classic Margaux in style, opening with blackcurrant, cedar, graphite, and dried flowers, followed by hints of tobacco, leather, and sweet spice as it evolves in the glass. On the palate, it is polished and finely knit, with ripe Cabernet Sauvignon bringing structure, Merlot adding supple texture, and the supporting varieties lending nuance and lift. The finish is graceful and persistent, with earthy, savory tones balanced by fresh acidity. While already enjoyable now, it still has the balance to age further for several years under proper cellar conditions.

Production
Pavillon Rouge comes from the vineyards of Château Margaux in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, where gravel-rich soils and a temperate Atlantic climate provide ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon-led blends. The estate’s careful vineyard management and selective harvesting ensure that only fruit meeting strict quality standards is used. Vinification is carried out with the same precision as at the grand vin level, with meticulous sorting, plot-by-plot selection, and élevage in oak to preserve purity, structure, and finesse.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, mushroom dishes, and truffle-infused preparations. It also works well with aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opening now, especially to allow its aromatic complexity and structure to fully emerge.

Producer
Château Margaux is one of Bordeaux’s most legendary estates and was classified as a First Growth in the 1855 Classification, a distinction that continues to define its reputation today. Pavillon Rouge was introduced as the estate’s second wine, allowing the château to maintain the exacting standards of its flagship bottling while offering a different expression of the Margaux terroir. Over the years, it has become highly respected in its own right for its elegance, consistency, and unmistakable connection to one of the world’s great wine properties.
