Pavillon Rouge Du Chateau Margaux Margaux 2005 France Bordeaux Haut Medoc Margaux French Still Wine 750ml

This second wine of Chateau Margaux was introduced in 1908 and now represents 50% of the overall estate production. Generally selected from vats and barrels of a lesser caliber than the ”Grand Vin,” it is typically made from the younger vines.. The best second wine yet made by Chateau Margaux is undoubtedly the 2005 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux, a blend of nearly 50% Merlot and the rest primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Petit Verdot. Extremely rich in color, flesh, fruit, and glycerin, this amazingly opulent, full-bodied effort tips the scales at 14% alcohol ... a full degree higher than its grander sibling. Serious consumers should consider purchasing this gorgeous offering as it is probably better than just about any Chateau Margaux produced between 1963 and 1977. It should drink well for 15 or more years. Points.. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% MerlotProportions vary slightly according to the vintage.. Showing the elegance and refinement of its first-growth namesake, this superb wine is soft and velvety with the classic Margaux fragrance and finesse.
