Beautifully sappy balanced feel, plums, damson, red cherry, sage, gunsmoke, peony, balanced alcohols. This is a 2nd wine with plenty of character, finesse and nuance, stretches out through the palate, a touch more Cabernet Franc this year in the blend, giving a savoury floral uplift. 30% of overall production, 60% new oak. 36hl/h yield, Philippe Bascaules estate director.

The 2021 Pavillon Rouge is bright and beautifully focused. A slender, vibrant Pavillon Rouge, the 2021 impresses with energy more than volume. Bright acids lift a core of red plum fruit, blood orange, cinnamon and rose petal. Saline notes extend the finish. Today, the 2021 is a bit clenched, but that should not be an issue in a few years' time. Score: 92 Antonio Galloni, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2031-2046 27 February 2024 |

The 2021 Pavillon Rouge showed well from barrel. Now, in bottle since late June, it has a gorgeous, very pure, almost Burgundy-like bouquet that blossoms in the glass: raspberry, blackberry and crushed violet scents. The palate is medium-bodied with very succulent tannins, fine acidity, gentle grip and a disarmingly minerally, fresh finish. What a delightful Pavillon. Score: 92 Neal Martin, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2025-2040 22 February 2024 |

Floral notes with an attractive purity to the fruit. Firmly structured with the tannins well integrated in the fruit. Freshness and length on the finish. Demure but should age. Score: 16+ James Lawther MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2027-2038 06 May 2022 |

A nicely rounded young red with fine tannins that are polished and poised. Medium body with a solid center-palate and a creamy finish. Shows wonderful ripeness and beauty. 73% cabernet sauvignon, 18% merlot, 5% petit verdot and 4% cabernet franc. Score: 94 - 95 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 01 May 2022 |

Aromas of plums, raspberries and sweet spices introduce the 2021 Pavillon Rouge, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and vibrant wine that's impressively rich and mouthfilling, revealing a deep core of fruit framed by powdery tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long, saline finish. The blend is 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, and Philippe Bascaules observes that parcels planted 20 years ago and destined for the grand vin when they're a bit older are increasingly making the cut for Pavillon Rouge. Score: 91 - 93 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 29 April 2022 |

The second wine of the estate, the 2021 Pavillon Rouge is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon yet includes 18% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. With a pH of 3.68 and an IPT of 74, it's a serious, age-worthy second wine offering medium-bodied aromas and flavors of cassis, graphite, and smoked tobacco. It's beautifully balanced, with good mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. It's in the running for the top second wine in the vintage. Score: 92 - 94 Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 06 February 2022 |
