Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux

Bordeaux

Anis, fennel, white tea, citrus, lemon zest, kiwi, slate, a balanced and generous nose, and a ton of juicy mouthwatering waves that hit pretty much immediately, and keep on coming. 20% new oak, in 400l casks. Perhaps ready to drink a little earlier than the 2021 - this is generous and deliciously sappy and appealin. Harvest 2 to 8 September, 3.2ph. Philippe Bascaules estate director.

Inside Bordeaux

Passion fruit and grapefruit notes jump from the glass, followed by hints of chalk dust, elderflower, and gooseberries. The light to medium-bodied palate has a satiny texture with fantastic tension and intense tropical and citrus fruit flavor layers, finishing long and minerally. So good.

White peach flesh on the opening gives an opulent start that quickly narrows inwards to flint and steel. An exceptional white wine, with sculpted charm, showcasing citrus, lime zest, green apple, anis and sage. Harvest August 23 to 30, yields 37hl/h compared to 15h/h in 2022.

The 2022 Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, with very tiny yields this year of only 14 hl/ha. It waltzes out with gregarious notes of fresh peaches, green mango, and lime cordial with fragrant wafts of jasmine, chalk dust, and sea spray. The medium-bodied palate is coated with citrus and tropical fruit layers with expressive chalky sparks and a long zesty finish.

Aniseed, quince, fennel, sage, lime zest and slate grip, this slides along the palate, building to mouthwatering finish. A great white wine that pulls you up short, it was brilliant En Primeur, and is better now. Intense cut grass and steel, just enough tension to kick up a little drama, stretching out over the palate, with plenty of lees stirring over ageing to round out the mid palate. One of the wines of the vintage. September 7 to 13 (unusual in recent years for white harvest to start in September rather than August).

The 100 year anniversary vintage of Pavillon Blanc, this has touches of honeysuckle on the nose, with luscious white peach and apricot showing the concentration of the vintage, balanced by plenty of green apple, citrus and lime blossom giving foccus and grip - helped by old vines that are well able to resist a dry vintage, although yields were right down to 22hl/h. Tasted alongside the 2021 which is extremely different in expression, showing far more citrus and pear - delicate where this is gourmet. Harvest August 24 to September 1, 55% of overall white yield selected for the Pavillon Blanc.

High Sauvignon Blanc aromatics, with gunsmoke and flint reduction on the first nose, opening to juicy white peach, white pear, nuanced pumice stone minerality. Pavillon Blanc is one of the most structured white wines of Bordeaux, and reveals its complexities slowly, but already the texture tells you just what an exceptional vintage it is. Subtle yet unmissable.

The 2018 Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux is closed at first with touches of lemongrass and lime leaves, giving way to yellow apples and pears, with a hint of wet pebbles. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is crisp, very structured, and tightly wound, with lots of citrus and mineral layers, finishing long and zesty.

A stunning wine that is full of finesse, with depth and concentration. The fruit majors on white peach, apricot and nectarine, slowly building and shot through with grilled spice and mouthwatering acidities. Grip and control throughout, but also generosity and just so much pleasure. I gave this 100 points in bottle and I stand by that now that it is 5 years old. A yield of 20hl/ha. 50 year old vines. 20% new oak. Philippe Bascaules director.
