“Aromas of sweet berries, spices, rose petals, and loamy soil set the stage for the 2019 Paveil de Luze. A medium- to full-bodied wine, supple and well-balanced, lively, flavorful, and refined, displaying true class and character. Cabernet Sauvignon grown on gravel is the order of the day, and the result is one of the best unclassified wines from the Médoc this year.” (Wine Advocate - Parker 2022) - Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and selected shipping method)

Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Following in the footsteps of five generations, Baron Frédéric de Luze took the reins of the family estate in 2004. In 1992, he founded the wine merchant firm LD Vins with his partner Thierry Decre, a company renowned for its distribution of Grand Cru Classés. His untimely death shocked Bordeaux. Since 2010, Stéphane Derenoncourt has served as a consultant. The wines remain elegant, refined, and delicate—in short, quintessentially Margaux. The 2015 vintage marked the return of this lovely estate to the forefront, and the 2016 vintage confirms it!

About the wine:
Having shown steady improvement over the past few years, this estate continues its rise with this highly successful vintage. Tactile, silky, and very approachable with its rounded profile—yet without lacking freshness or structure—it develops a superb bouquet of ripe red fruits, blackcurrant, spices, and earth. A devilishly charming Margaux. 2025–2032
About the estate:
Dating back to the 17th century, this sprawling château features a rose garden and a 32-hectare vineyard in a single block, situated on the Garonne gravel soils of the Soussans plateau. Baron Alfred de Luze acquired the property in 1862; since 2016, it has been managed by one of his descendants, Marguerite de Luze.

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)
About the wine:
This wine, with its elegant texture, comes from a vineyard located in Soussans, in the northern part of the Margaux appellation. Ripe black fruit and age-worthy tannins offer spicy notes and hints of licorice alongside the fruitiness. Best enjoyed starting in 2026.
Vinous
Wine rated (2022 guide) 93/100
About the wine:
The 2019 Paveil de Luze is bursting with very ripe dark red berries, kirsch, blood orange, rose petals, and spices. Its freshness brings out some of its most exotic flavors. This is a particularly distinguished Margaux, full of character. The 2019 is impressive, just as it was in the barrel.
James Suckling
Wine rated (2021 guide) 92/100
About the wine:
Aromas of blackberries, blueberries, dried herbs, cedar, and a spice rack. Medium-bodied with creamy tannins. Round and elegant with a polished, spicy, and flavorful finish. Best enjoyed starting in 2024.
Yves Beck
Wine rated (2021 guide) 93/100
About the wine:
A superb bouquet characterized by freshness, spices, and notes of red berries! Delicious and juicy on the palate. The wine is full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and beautiful aromatic expression that lingers through the finish. A flavorful, elegant, and compelling wine. Once again! 2023–2037

Review by Mr. MATHIEU W. Published on April 13, 2025
Dark cherry red. Nose: Blackcurrant, blackberry, luxurious oak; aristocratic—you immediately sense its class and depth. The austerity typical of Bordeaux does not go unnoticed. Beautiful, complex aromas. Palate: a full-bodied attack of blackcurrant, blackberries, spice, a hint of mocha, and again that luxurious wood as a backdrop (not the star of the show). The tannins are already beautifully integrated but still present with a fine-grained texture. Nicely balanced and shows great promise for the future. Will reach its peak in 2030. Score: 16.5+/20
