The 2020 vintage in the press:
Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2024): 92/100
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2024): 94/100 “The 2020 Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux has a wonderfully delineated, utterly charming bouquet—pure and floral with enticing violets infusing the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with very pliant, finessed tannins. A gentle grip disguises the power of this Margaux, which is persistent and caressing on the finish—outstanding. This shoots well above my expectations!"

The 2015 vintage in the press:
Jean-Marc Quarin (September 2020): 95/100 “For the moment, the nose is a little discreet, with ripe, suave fruit and a hint of meatiness. It's the palate that sets this wine apart. Soft and melting from the outset, it develops complexity in the mid-palate, gaining power in the finish, but all in nuance. Very fine-grained, long finish with lots of flavor."

The 2014 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (September 2020): 94/100 “Very well constructed, savory, the wine caresses the ascending palate on the finish, with a slightly firmer tannic presence, without the flavor being altered...”

The 2014 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2024): 94/100 “The 2014 Château Margaux has a well-defined bouquet of cedar-infused black fruits, undergrowth and hints of brown spices. A little more precision than the Haut-Brion. [...] This is a “serious” Château Margaux that will hopefully relax over the next few years. We'll see."
