Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux 2023 (750ML)

96-97 Points, James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com: “This is quite a big Pavillon Blanc with sliced pineapple, ripe apple, lemon and stone. It’s full-bodied, layered and phenolic with a ripe sense to it, but then it’s citrusy and salty. Like fresh oysters. Reminds me of vintages from the 1980s, but with more freshness and clarity. 100% sauvignon blanc.” 05/24

96 Points, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux: “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.” 04/24

94-98 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent: “The 2023 Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of fresh grapefruit, pineapple, and white peaches leading to hints of honeysuckle, orange blossom, and coriander seed with a waft of yuzu. The medium-bodied palate has vivacious citrus and tropical fruit flavors with a racy backbone and long chalky finish. This is delicious! The yield was 37 hl/ha and the pH 3.15.” 05/24
