The very fine balance and charm of the Grand Vin can also be found in Pavillon Rouge 1999, with less complexity, length and density. Its fruit is so delightful, its palate so silky, that it would be a pity not to begin drinking it, though there is no rush. (October 2025)
Climate
After an early flowering, the summer was hot and sunny, with isolated rainy spells: optimal conditions to the ripening of the grapes, but also to the onset of downy mildew. From 20th August to 10th September, the very dry weather brought the ripening and the concentration of the grapes to exceptional levels; then heavy rains came until the end of September. (The picking began on 22nd September)
