Wine Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 vintage of Pavillon Rouge is an exceptionally serious expression, representing 32% of the total harvest in that year. It is noted for its deep garnet-purple or bright ruby purple colour. The aroma is expressive, offering a fragrant and finessed bouquet of red plum, raspberries, mulberries, lilac, and violets, mingled with hints of cedar, chocolate, licorice, and spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe varietal composition is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, and 5% Cabernet Franc. The palate is medium to full-bodied, rich, layered, and concentrated, displaying a blend of dark fruits like blackcurrant pastilles, black cherries, and plums. Stylistically, it is described as plush, opulent, and elegant, possessing a silky texture and a muscular frame. It has a great backbone, with plenty of sweet, fine-grain, or chalky tannins and well-knit freshness, showcasing an exceptional balance and vibrancy. The finish is long and flavourful, with a fragrant lift and a peppery length. The alcohol by volume (ABV) is 14.8%. It is aged in French oak, with 60% new oak used. The wine is a powerful rendition for Pavillon Rouge. The optimal drinking window is noted as starting around 2028 to 2045. Information on the wine being organic is not available, though the estate predominantly uses organic farming methods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300799 - Boushelong Wine \u0026 Spirit International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43139031531607,"sku":"128526","price":496.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/pavillon-rouge-du-chateau-margaux_cdf4cbb1-b230-4484-a76c-c0bedcc4eff9.jpg?v=1778594582","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/pavillon-rouge-du-chateau-margaux-2022","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
