Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Severely selected and made from a higher proportion of Cabernet than usual, this wine offers a classic floral Margaux nose with great finesse, but shows limits of texture and on the finish, considering its likely release price. | 16

Michael Schuster | Fresh, minerally nose; elegant, refined, firmly but finely tannic wine with a fresh acidity; freshly ripe in a slightly severe style; gently sweet to taste, flowing, pure, delicate, and with fine aromatic length. Slightly lean impression overall, smaller-scale Pavillon Rouge. 2018–26. | 16
