Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, 2008
This 100% Sauvignon Blanc cuvee is yet again one of the most intense and utterly stunning dry whites from Bordeaux. There have been a string of great Pavillon Blancs in the last decade and this is no exception. A wonderful, exotic nose of citrus peel, peach, blossom and chalky minerality. The palate is taut and restrained with a really mineral, salty character. The flavours are very long and engaging, whilst the acidity is beautifully refreshing. Delicious.
critic reviews
(100% sauvignon blanc; 25 hl/ha; 14% alcohol) Straw-green. Typical pure sauvignon nose of green fig, yellow melon and ripe gooseberry, nicely complemented by hints of chamomile and mint. The delicate fresh flavors echo the aromas in this subtle, aromatically complex white wine. The moderately concentrated but long finish offers a mineral element and a lingering note of green anise. You might say the '08 is back to normalfor Pavillon Blanc, after the flamboyantly rich '07, with its almost 16% alcohol.
