Tasting notes
This is an estate where the quality of the second wine is more than a simple afterthought. The 1999 Pavillon Rouge de Margaux exhibits notes of herbs in its elegant, medium-bodied, forward, complex personality. It possesses the character of its big sister, but not the weight, concentration, or length. Enjoy it over the next decade.

Gorgeous blackberries, currants and spices on the nose. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a luscious aftertaste. Second wine of Margaux. Best after 2004. 16,665 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2002

Medium ruby-red. Ripe, sappy aromas of boysenberry and currant, with a strong floral note. Supple, concentrated and thoroughly ripe, with noteworthy concentration for a second wine. Finishes with ripe tannins and a hint of bitter chocolate.
