2015 Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

Refreshing, clean and with delicious acidity, Pavillon Blanc is dominated by glorious green fruit flavours. With a dense minerality, the flinty notes are particularly pleasant. Acidity is present, but complements rather than dominates, and there is a wonderful freshness here.

The wine benefits from over 35-year-old vines. With lightness and an abundance of tasty fruit, it is another excellent wine in 2015. The wine has a precision and saltiness that is utterly delicious, demonstrating just how good white Bordeaux can be.

Jancis Robinson MW 17+/20
Extremely rich nose. Racy and lively with a green streak. Deliberately more acidity than in the old days. Just finishes a little more suddenly than I expected. Drink 2019-2028 jancis_robinson_mw MW - JancisRobinson.com - Apr 2016

Superb 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Lovely white flowers nose then lively and fresh on the palate, showing beautifully sappy, ripe flavours and a long, lifted finish. Drink: 2017-2028 Steven Spurrier - decanter.com - April 2016

Coming from vines that are now over 40 years old, representing only one-third of the total production and, as always, produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2015 Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux was matured for eight months in barrels, 20% new. The nose simply sings of fresh peaches, pink grapefruit and almonds with touches of dried herbs, crushed stones, allspice and honeycomb plus a waft of elderflower. The medium-bodied palate reveals a lovely satiny texture, great intensity and a racy backbone to support the vibrant fruit, finishing long with some tropical notes coming through. Although it is delicious now, it is certainly closed compared to what it will be in a year or two and can easily cellar for 20 years or more.Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 21/02/2018

This is like biting into perfectly ripe grapes with dried apple, peach and pear. Full and energetic with a pretty texture and length. james_suckling - jamessuckling_com
