Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux - Bordeaux Blanc Sec - White - 2011 :

 

Pavillon Blanc: Château Margaux's Iconic Dry White

As the sole dry white produced by the legendary First Growth, Château Margaux, Pavillon Blanc is an iconic and highly exclusive bottling. Sourced from 11 hectares of prime Sauvignon Blanc vines, its production is exceptionally limited, cementing its status as one of the world's most sought-after white wines. It is an extraordinary example of how Sauvignon Blanc, when handled with the rigour of a First Growth, can achieve profound complexity and remarkable longevity.

Sommelier's Tasting Profile

• Colour: Bright, pale lemon with a youthful green hue.
• Bouquet: A sophisticated and intense nose of honeysuckle, white currant, lime, and white stone fruit, underscored by a classic Médoc mineral backbone. It avoids the overt 'grassy' or 'tropical' notes often associated with Sauvignon Blanc.
• Finish: The palate is pure, taut, and elegant. A vibrant acidity provides a thrilling counterpoint to the wine's depth and silky richness. The finish is long, saline, and incredibly refined, promising decades of graceful evolution in the cellar.

Food Pairing & Decanting

A true connoisseur's white, best served at cellar temperature (10-12°C). Pair with the finest ingredients-from simply prepared Dover sole to luxurious shellfish platters. Younger vintages benefit significantly from a brief decant.
