2014 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

Tasting wine at Ch. Margaux is one of the greatest parts of our job: it’s a true privilege. This wine has great harmony and persistence in 2014. It has a beautiful elegance, and wears the domination of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend with real harmony. A pure expression of Margaux, there are spicy black fruits on the palate and ripe, red fruits on the nose. Showing real purity, freshness and real polish, elegance and length, it is beautifully layered too. Softly-textured, the spice is really attractive. Just 24 percent of the crop went into Pavillon Rouge in 2014. Concentrated, pure tannins linger on the long and satisfying finish.

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.

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.Neil Martin - 31/03/2017
