The 82ha/203acres of red grape varieties are planted with approximately 75% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, 20% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Average total red wine output is about 30,000 cases, of which the resurrected Pavillon Rouge de Ch Margaux is the excellent second wine. The dry, white wine Pavillon Blanc is made in a new and separate temperature-controlled cellar, with barrel fermentation, exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc grapes planted on 12ha of separate vineyard.
If finesse can be picked up on the nose, then the stunning and complex bouquet of Chateau Margaux is the yardstick. The softness, finesse and velvety texture of this wine belies its depth. Amazingly rich and concentrated, with an elegant, long and complex finish supported by ripe tannins and wonderful smoky-creamy oak aromas. Perfection!
