RATINGS

95James Suckling

The quality of tannins in the Pavillon Rouge is really beautiful with extremely fine grain. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and silky. Racy and extended on the palate.

93Jeb Dunnuck

...terrific, with lots of cassis and black raspberry fruit as well as notes of spice box, flowery incense, and graphite aromatics. Medium to full-bodied, elegant, and silky on the palate, it has plenty of tannins as well as length...

92The Wine Advocate

Medium-bodied, the palate has a lovely skip in its step with bags of bright, crunchy red and black fruits and a soft texture of finely grained tannins, finishing long and refreshing.

91Vinous / IWC

The 2017 Pavillon Rouge is soft, luscious and very pretty. Sweet red cherry, red plum, mint, spice, blood orange, cedar and tobacco contribute lovely touches of freshness.

90Wine Spectator

Charming damson plum and black cherry fruit has melded nicely with notes of black tea, alder and lilac. The caressing finish shows good perfume. Wins on finesse.

16.5+ Jancis Robinson

Enticing and floral nose – violets, cherry blossom – accented with baking spices. Bright and crunchy on the palate, this is a compact and well-proportioned style.
