PAVILLON BLANC

2011 du Château Margaux

Grapes Sémillon, Sauv
Colour White
Origin France, Bordeaux
ABV 13.8%

Lovely harmonious nose meldng citrus and sweetness of fruit, spice of oak and a panoply of bright fruit, spice and mineral. Nearly unctuous but still fresh and taut, not too exotic, long citrus finish. Rating: 93 L&S (Apr 2012)

The Pavillon Blanc has a very lifted, very pure bouquet with lovely scents of dried pineapple, vanilla, white peach and honeysuckle...nigh irresistible. The palate is medium-bodied with great fruit intensity on the entry: yellow plum, vanilla, custard creams and a touch of guava wrapped up in crisp acidity from start to finish. It is very harmonious towards the finish. Superb. Rating: 92-94 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Apr 2012)

Lemon pale, delicate white summer fruits, wonderful raciness and an almost steely backbone behind the lifted florality. Drink 2013-2020. Rating: 17.5 www.decanter.com (Apr 2012)

Blazingly pure, with gorgeous honeysuckle, heather, green almond, green plum and verbena notes backed by a long, macadamia nut–tinged finish. There's both tension and creaminess at the same time, delivering a beautiful expression of fruit and minerality. Despite sharing the label with the second wine of the red, this is grand vin white. Rating: 93-96 James Molesworth, The Wine Spectator (Apr 2012)
