ANSON: "High floral aromatics on the nose, marked by peony, white roses, lilac, chalky tannins, lovely purity of expression, complex aromatics that reflect berry fruits that are ripe without being heavy, with focus and precision. 3.62ph, 12.5% press wine, 30hl/h yield after sorting. Harvest September 23 to October 8. Less Merlot than usual both in Pavillon and in Margaux, and more Cabernet Franc (9%) in this, as a result of plantings a decade ago."

VINUM: "Rubinrot leuchtend; strahlend, frische, herrliche Frucht, Cassis, würzige Noten; fruchtbetont am Gaumen, knackig, zeigt Biss, bereits gut verpackte Tannine, aromatisch langanhaltend, mit einem fast schon Pinot-artigen Ausdruck; rotfruchtiges Finale. Finessenreich im Stil des 2021ers."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubiongranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Nuancen von Gewürznellken, reife rote Herzkirschen, kandierte Mandarinenzesten, feinwürziger Touch. Straff, elegant, rotbeerig, frische Säurestruktur, lebendig und mineralisch, zitronig, ein Hauch von Preiselbeeren im Nachhall."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Quite floral in nature, you also find ripe black cherries, plums, espresso, and a touch of tobacco wrapper in the aromatics. On the palate, the wine displays its charming character with ease. Medium-bodied, fresh, crisp, and juicy, with sweet black with red currants, and cherries with freshness, and vibrancy. The wine was made from blending 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. 12.9% ABV. Drink from 2027-2040."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Incorporating more Cabernet Franc (as recent plantings mature) and more Cabernet Sauvignon than usual, the 2024 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux unwinds in the glass with aromas of sweet cassis, red berries, vanilla pod and violets, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and lively palate with good density, powdery tannins and lively acids. It checks in at 12.9% alcohol."
