1988
Pavillon Rouge 1988 shows a classic balance, with a fine tannic structure and great elegance. Ageing in bottle has given it the smoothness and a hint of softness it lacked in its youth. It is ready to drink now and will probably not benefit from being kept any longer. (October 2025)
Climate
After a very mild winter and a wet spring, June and the beginning of July were particularly rainy. Then, from mid-July onwards, until the end of September, hot and very dry weather set in. Despite a few light rain showers at the beginning of the harvest, the picking was carried out in excellent conditions. (The picking began 3rd October)
