    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Aurélien explained that although a very hot vintage, they were surprised by a pH of 3.6, a figure they would associate with a cool growing season. Made from a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot and representing 32% of the crop, the Pavillon Rouge 2022 opens with a glorious bouquet of flowers and vivid fruits. Dense and compact on the palate, vibrant and alive, texturally this is so silky with long, refined tannins displaying suggestions of graphite and cassis on the finish. A beautiful Pavillon Rouge, which carries the family crest. Alas, yields are just 25 hl/ha.

    Fragrant and finessed aromatics on this Pavillon Rouge, that cut through the well-embedded tannins and powerful spice. This has closed down since En Primeur, with a muscular frame and dark fruits, suggesting it has a long way to run. 60% new oak, 25hl/h yield, director Philippe Bascaules.

    The 2022 Pavillon Rouge was bottled in June 2023. This has a delectable bouquet with pure and delineated red plum, raspberry, wilted rose petal and inkwell scents. The palate is medium-bodied and very harmonious, with fine-grain tannin and a keen line of acidity. It's not deep or powerful, but there is tension throughout.

    The 2022 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux is made from 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, and 5% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it needs quite a lot of swirling to bring out notes of blackcurrant pastilles, Morello cherries, and preserved plums, followed by hints of dusty soil, cumin seed, and garrigue. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers commendable grace and backbone, with firm grainy tannins and well-knit freshness supporting the muscular black fruits, finishing with a fragrant lift. pH 3.65, TPI 85, alcohol 14.8% - but you don't feel it.
