Chateau Margaux - Pavillon Blanc 2021

James Suckling: "This is a really serious white. Vibrant and tangy with fantastic energy. Plenty of lime zest, pineapple, crushed stone, cedar, anise and white lavender. Grapefruit, too. Medium body. So much tension at the end. Focused and precise and it just keeps on going. The pH is 3.04, yet it has intense ripeness. A masterpiece of sauvignon blanc. The chateau says it is the best Pavillon Blanc ever. 100% sauvignon blanc."

Weinwisser: "100 % Sauvignon Blanc. Ertrag : 19 hl/ha. Druckvolles, ungemein kristallines Bouquet mit deutlich steinig-mineralischen Akzenten, etwas Weinbergpfirsich, Agrumen, Mandarinenzesten und weißer Pfeffer, dahinter ein Touch Grapefruit, grüner Tee und Zitronenmelisse. Am saftig-mineralischen Gaumen sehr fokussiert, geradezu «tight» mit fein pfeffrigem Extrakt, delikater Rasse und mineralischen Nuancen, der fast an nasse Kreide erinnert! Für mich einer der besten Weißweine des Jahres."

Decanter: "Gorgeous peach tone on the nose, with bright lemon, clementine, green apple skin and crushed stones too. Super sharp and fresh straight out the gate, this is searing, focused and neat with a shot of lemon juice, so zingy on the mid-palate giving a green apple and peach freshness towards the end. Fruity and extremely lively. It has an unctuous texture, not weighty but delectably textured with a silkiness. You have the acidity but also the opulence, it’s both sharp and immensely layered. A joyful combination of freshness and power - supremely impressive with vibrancy and mass appeal."
