2018 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, Margaux Grand Cru Classé, (1.5 l) Dry Red Wine

DESCRIPTION
Château Margaux is a winery in the Médoc region near Bordeaux. It produces one of the most famous wines in the world. The Pavillon Rouge Grand Cru Classé 2018 represents 30% of the Château Margaux harvest and is a brilliant, full-bodied, velvety wine.

DEVELOPMENT
Made from a selection of the best grapes, strictly hand-picked by parcel and grape variety.
The 2018 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux Grand Cru Classé is aged in oak barrels.

TASTING NOTES
On the nose, the 2018 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux shows intense aromas of red cherries, pomegranate, crushed violet blossoms and a hint of iodine, which is high-toned but still well-defined. On the palate, it is very well-balanced, with silky tannins on entry and a taut acidic line that keeps everything in balance. I like the budding energy of this Pavillon Rouge and the hint of black pepper that enlivens the finish.

SERVING SUGGESTION
Serve at 13-18 °C with game dishes, beef goulash, red meat, and strong cheeses.
