In 1855, the château was awarded the title of Premier Grand Cru Classé, and was the only one of the four châteaux to achieve a score of twenty out of twenty. With the acquisition of the estate by André Mentzelopoulos in 1977, Château Margaux turned a new page in its history. Raising the Grand Vin of Château Margaux to the highest level, he reintroduced the château's Second Wine, Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, which had been created in 1908. Following in her father's footsteps due to his untimely death, Corinne Mentzelopoulos took up the family banner with energy and passion to maintain Château Margaux's standing as a Bordeaux masterpiece, so recognisable by its neo-Palladian allure. Vintage after vintage, the estate's wines rank among the greatest in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe vineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Château Margaux vineyard owes its distinctive character to its rare and unique terroir, situated on a hillock of gravel. The estate's grape varieties include the area's flagship black grape, Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. The estate's clay-limestone soils produce to legendary vintages, with the refined, sensual allure so representative of the great wines of Margaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tasting_note rounded\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tasting_note rounded\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tasting\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Points - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"A plush and opulent Pavillon Rouge with plums, boysenberries and hints of cedar and chocolate.

Deep garnet-purple in colour, 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.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"notranslate wine-score\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"notranslate wine-score\"\u003e93\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"notranslate wine-score\"\u003e+\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"notranslate wine-score\"\u003e100 Points - William Kelley, Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The 2022 Pavillon Rouge has turned out very nicely, offering up expressive aromas of raspberries and mulberries mingled with hints of licorice, anise and spices. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, it's concentrated and structured, with a rich core of fruit underpinned by plenty of sweet, powdery tannin.
