    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, Margaux, 2003

    Like the Grand Vin, this Pavillon Rouge is the most concentrated ever, the result of low yields at only 30hl/ha. Ripe but restrained black fruit aromas and hints of toasted oak. There is fabulous density on the palate, fine fruit displaying great sweetness, hints of fresh-baked bread, mulberry and blackcurrant, and fully integrated tannins on the finish. A superb Pavillon Blanc coming from 50% of the Margaux crop. Two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and one-third Merlot.

    Neal Martin, Vinous
    The 2003 Pavillon Rouge has a respectable bouquet with brambly red fruit, orange rind, freshly-rolled tobacco and peppermint. This is actually fresher than some Grand Vins tasted. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins on the entry, raspberry, strawberry and a touch of white pepper. It has a slightly savory finish. Smooth and very drinkable. À point. Tasted at the château.
