Château Margaux Bordeaux Blanc Pavillon Blanc 2020
The 100 year anniversary vintage of Pavillon Blanc, this has touches of honeysuckle on the nose, with luscious white peach and apricot showing the concentration of the vintage, balanced by plenty of green apple, citrus and lime blossom giving foccus and grip – helped by old vines that are well able to resist a dry vintage, although yields were right down to 22hl/h. Tasted alongside the 2021 which is extremely different in expression, showing far more citrus and pear – delicate where this is gourmet. Harvest August 24 to September 1, 55% of overall white yield selected for the Pavillon Blanc.
