justerini & brooks tasting note

The 2014 Pavillon Rouge accounts for just 24% of the production. Paul Pontallier explained that this was the strictest selection yet for Pavillon; to put this in context, it is about half the production of the 2005! Produced from 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, this is one of if not the most finely detailed examples we can remember tasting. It doesn't have the depth of the 2009 and 2010, but the precision of fruit and the delineation of flavours are very impressive. Blueberries, damsons, crème de mûre, gravelly minerality; this has gorgeous suave fruit and svelte muscular tannins. This is a very fine Pavillon Rouge.

critic reviews

93/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2014 Pavillon Rouge has a more classically styled nose compared to its peers, black fruit mixed with graphite and tobacco, unfolding nicely in the glass and incrementally gaining opulence. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, rounded in the mouth, fleshy and plush, with no hard edges in sight. This is quite a seductive Margaux, but it pulls it off well. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

90/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

Medium to deep garnet-brick in color, the 2014 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux rolls out with notes of redcurrant jelly and kirsch plus wafts of tar, mossy tree bark, and smoked meats. The medium-bodied palate delivers a great core of red berry preserves flavors with a grainy texture and refreshing acidity, finishing on a savory note.

93/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

A delicious window into Margaux in this vintage, with plenty of personality that it shares with the main estate wine. Perhaps a little less depth than the 2016 vintage of Pavillon, but this is just begging to be drunk, with its subtle and softly spoken tannins, and blackberry and raspberry stretching out through the palate. Great quality, with finesse.
