2018 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux - Magnum
Pavillon Rouge is the second wine of the legendary First Growth Château Margaux, with origins stretching back to 1908. Today it is selected from a rigorous proportion of the harvest - barely 30% - alongside the grand vin and a third wine, ensuring outstanding quality. 2018 was a magnificent vintage in Margaux, and the magnum format adds presence and ageing potential.
