Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux – Bordeaux Blanc Sec – White – 2011 – 1500 ml:

 

The Purity of Bordeaux: Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux

The Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux stands as one of the world’s truly great dry white wines. Sourced from a unique 12-hectare vineyard and made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc, this wine is afforded the same meticulous attention to detail as the estate’s famous red. Barrel aging imparts a sublime richness and complexity, making it an essential acquisition for the serious UK collector seeking an age-worthy white Bordeaux.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier Review)

• Aroma: A highly refined nose featuring intense citrus fruits (lime, grapefruit), white blossom, and a distinct mineral precision.
• Flavour Profile: Opulent and textured on the palate, exhibiting great concentration and depth. The wine maintains a thrilling tension thanks to its vibrant acidity, culminating in a persistent finish with elegant notes of stone fruit and a delicate, creamy oak influence.
• Longevity: This is a wine designed for extended cellaring, typically peaking between 5 and 15 years.

Food Pairing & Service

To honour this classic, pair it with refined seafood and poultry. Serve cool (10-12°C).

• Suggested Matches: Classic Lobster Thermidor, Pan-fried Dover Sole Meunière, or an aged, hard French cheese like Comté.
