It was difficult to summarize in a few lines, the long and passionate history of the estate, it could be entitled "Once upon a time Château Margaux".

Through the generations and through the centuries, the skillfulness of one and the innovations of others, progressively made Château Margaux into a wine of excellence; we only have to remember the progress made by Berlon at the very beginning of the XVIII century.

Berlon was the first to vinify the grapes and the white grapes separately. At that time, the vine stocks were mixed in the vineyard. He asked that the grapes should not be harvested at dawn "because the grapes were covered in dew and that, if they were harvested in the morning, their color was diluted and paled with excess humidity". The beginnings of modern winemaking were appearing.

The quality of Pavillon Rouge has become very close to that of the first wine because all the plots involved contributed to the blending of Château Margaux not so long ago. Of course there isn’t the same complexity, the same depth, the same “magic” but the flavours are close and the balance in the mouth leads to the same subtle senses of power and softness. In general it is ready to drink a little earlier whilst retaining an excellent potential to age largely beyond 30 or 40 years.
