2001
Pavillon Rouge 2001 is close in style to the Grand Vin, all the more so as it is itself the result of a rigorous selection made possible by the third wine. It shows the same aromatic freshness, but with slightly less complexity, and the same fine, tight tannic texture, though somewhat less rich and powerful. This is a beautiful vintage of Pavillon Rouge, already very enjoyable and ready to drink today, without haste. (October 2025).
Climate
After a very rainy winter, the flowering went quickly and evenly. During the entire summer, there were unusually alternate periods of hot and cool, dry and wet weather, which encouraged vegetation growth and slowed ripening. We harvested eight days behind schedule but in fine weather. (The picking began on 1st October)
