Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux

Margaux AOP

100 % Sauvignon Blanc. 100 % Château Margaux. Nur 11.000 Flaschen jährlich kommen in den Genuss, mit diesem Weltklasse-Médoc-Weißwein befüllt zu werden. Im Jahrgang 2021 brilliert der Pavillon Blanc auf ganzer Linie. An der Nase Birne und Passionsfrucht mit Anklängen von Ananas und Melone. Wunderbar frisch am Gaumen, mit komplexer Frucht und markanter Säure. Überschwängliche Kritikerstimmen urteilen: einer der besten Weißweine des Jahres! Vinous: The 2021 Pavillon Blanc is fascinating to taste next to the 2020, as the two wines represent total stylistic opposites. Bright citrus, mineral and saline notes are at the heart of the 2021, a Pavillon Blanc that sizzles with tension an energy. 96 P, 2024-2030 Suckling: This is a really serious white. Vibrant and tangy with fantastic energy. Plenty of lime zest, pineapple, crushed stone, cedar, anise and white lavender. Grapefruit, too. Medium body. So much tension at the end. Focused and precise and it just keeps on going. The pH is 3.04, yet it has intense ripeness. A masterpiece of sauvignon blanc. The chateau says it is the best Pavillon Blanc ever. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. 99-100 P Parker: The 2021 Pavillon Blanc is one of the finest recent vintages of this cuvée, combining complete maturity with incisive acids to striking effect. Offering up aromas of confit lemon, citrus zest, crisp orchard fruit and wet stones, it's medium to full-bodied, chiseled and tensile, with striking concentration and chalky structuring dry extract, concluding with a long, mineral finish. It was picked between September 7 and 13 and attained 13.3% natural alcohol. 94-96 P.
