2010 Pavillon Blanc du Ch. Margaux

Pavillon Blanc du Ch. Margaux
Fragrant slightly grapefruit nose, crispness and lemony length, great minerality and purity. Drink 2012-20.

Pavillon Blanc du Ch. Margaux
Very flinty and dense and minerally. Much less fat than usual. Started picking 8 Sep – over a week. Much drier than old vintages. Intense and tense. Green flavours. Picked about four days earlier than before, 29 hl/ha so not lower yields but they worked in the vineyards. But most important was the selection: they separated and eliminated the last part of the pressed juice because that portion is pretty big and sweet. Corinne Mentzelopoulos, rather acidly: ‘I call it throwing it away’. ‘We eliminated 60% of total crop,’ admitted Pontallier. 13.8%

Pavillon Blanc du Ch. Margaux
Subtle hints of pineapple, Thai lemongrass, orange blossoms and crushed rock jump from the glass of this medium bodied wine made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Very rich and loaded with intensity, this is a beauty from the owners of Chateau Margaux. Drink it over the next 15+ years.

Pavillon Blanc du Ch. Margaux
Grapefruit, verbena, honeysuckle and lime flavors are all seamlessly layered, gliding through the bright, pure finish, with a stony undertow. Very pure. 100 percent Sauvignon Blanc, all barrel-fermented in a mix of new, second- and third-fill barrels. Tasted non-blind.
