Château Margaux's Pavillion Rouge 2001 is the estate's second wine, which bears the quality hallmarks of this great Bordeaux châteaux and vintage.

Château Margaux is one of Bordeaux's most strikingly elegant châteaux. Yet, despite its status, Margaux has a wonderful family feel, lacking the pretension and snobbery that enshrouds other elite Bordeaux châteaux. And Margaux's engaging personality is reflected in its wines - renowned for being rich and opulent.

The key behind Margaux's approach is the partnership between owner Corinne Mentzelopoulos and the long-standing winemaker Paul Pontallier, and there is a great team ethic from the vineyard workers right through to the management.

“A deep garnet hue. The nose is reticent at first but unfurls nicely with sappy, red-berried fruit, bilberry, a touch of spice and more violet aromas than before. The palate is medium-bodied, smooth and seductive on the entry, a real harlot of a Margaux! Lithe and focused, cranberry and raspberry with a touch of piquancy towards the finish……a stupendously fine second wine.” eRobertParker.com
