The dilution caused by the heavy rain during the harvest affected the grapes that were already very ripe due to the very favourable weather during August.
Pavillon Rouge 1993 is a fairly light wine, but fine and well balanced with a slightly vegetal note which is slowly fading as the wine ages in bottle. However, it does not reach the level of more recent vintages of Pavillon Rouge and will probably not improve further. (October 2025)
Climate
After an earlier than normal bud-break, the weather conditions were very favourable for the flowering, which was particularly fast and even. July was very dry but cool ; August was very hot and dry. On 10th September, the quality potential was remarkable. Unfortunately, the harvest was very rainy. (The picking began on 19th September)
