2010 Chateau Margaux Pavillon Rouge
A benchmark second wine from one of Bordeaux’s most revered estates, the 2010 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux is a triumph from a vintage widely hailed as one of the greatest in modern memory. Originally created in the 19th century and reimagined in the 1990s under Paul Pontallier’s visionary direction, Pavillon Rouge has evolved into one of the most prestigious second labels in the Médoc, often rivaling classified growths in complexity and longevity. Sourced from younger vines and parcels not selected for the grand vin but still within the boundaries of the historic Château Margaux estate, this cuvée is a pure expression of the Margaux appellation’s hallmark elegance, precision, and aromatic finesse. The 2010 vintage is a standout: a dry, sun-drenched growing season yielding intensely concentrated fruit with vibrant acidity and firm, structured tannins. A blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (68%), with Merlot (25%), Petit Verdot (5%), and Cabernet Franc (2%), the wine opens with a refined bouquet of blackcurrant, violet, graphite, and cedar, followed by notes of crushed plum, tobacco leaf, and pencil shavings. The palate is silky yet firm, with impressive depth and polish, balancing power and poise in a way that only Margaux can. The finish is long, floral, and mineral, with finely grained tannins that promise graceful evolution over decades. Awarded 95 points by James Suckling, who calls it “super refined with wonderful depth and polish,” and 96 points by Vinous, which notes its “sensual, deeply expressive” personality, the 2010 Pavillon Rouge is not merely a second wine—it is a grand vin in all but name, and a compelling addition to any serious Bordeaux collection.
