Château Margaux sits at the very top of that pyramid. But the reality is, most wine lovers will never open a bottle of Château Margaux itself. Prices for the Grand Vin often climb into the thousands. That’s where Pavillon Rouge comes in. Pavillon Rouge is the second wine of Château Margaux, produced from the same legendary vineyards, with the same winemaking team and the same deep gravel soils that define Margaux. The difference is selection. The château simply chooses parcels and lots that they feel express a slightly different personality than the Grand Vin. In modern Bordeaux, the selection is incredibly strict, which means the quality of these wines is extraordinarily high. Today we’re offering a trio of Pavillon Rouge across three vintages: 2020, 2021, and 2022. Each vintage tells a different story. 2020 is a warm, beautifully balanced year that delivers richness and classic Bordeaux structure. 2021 leans more traditional, showing the perfume and violet character that makes Margaux so distinctive. 2022 is a powerhouse vintage, combining freshness with remarkable concentration and depth. All three wines show the unmistakable Margaux signature: Cabernet-driven structure, aromatic lift, elegance, and precision. For collectors and Bordeaux lovers, this is one of the smartest ways to experience the character of Château Margaux without the First Growth price tag. And at under $200 per bottle, the value becomes very hard to ignore.
