An amazing 2005! The Merlot that was not allowed a place in the blend of the top wine brings incredible power and life to the Pavillon Rouge. It makes up 48% of the blend! The Cabernets (also 48%) contribute both density and restraint which could have been missing in the opulent, fleshy character of the Merlot. The Petit Verdot (4%) plays its discreet and necessary part of condiment to the full. The blend as a whole is surprisingly powerful, fat and balanced –that’s the magic of blending! 2005 is the richest Pavillon Rouge, both in alcohol and tannins, that we have ever produced.
All about red fruits, this is a celebration of ripe Merlot and Cabernet. It is touched with wood, but the flavors are of lively acidity, red berries, just showing some bitter chocolate. And to finish, more freshness.
Very beautiful aromas of crushed flowers--like roses--follow through to plum, berry and Indian spices. Full-bodied, refined and silky, with lovely ripe fruit and a delicate aftertaste of raisin and flowers. The second wine of Margaux. Best after 2012.
