Château Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux 1999 is a 100% Sauvignon Blanc white wine produced from the estate’s oldest vines on the Margaux plateau. After 25 years of bottle age the wine has developed a rich golden colour and a complex profile of lemon curd, beeswax and toasted nuts. It was matured in 25% new oak which has integrated fully into the concentrated fruit and mineral core. The 1999 bottling possesses a remarkable level of acidity and a vertical structure that has allowed it to age with exceptional grace.
90 Vinous
Pungently aromatic, superripe nose of grapefruit, mango and honey. Silky and voluminous, with very strong extract and enough acidity to maintain its freshness. Actually rather stylish for a white wine of this much sheer size. Very long, rather powerful finish shows some youthful harshness. Impressive now, but I'd rather go back to this five or six years down the road.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2000

A Legacy of Fine Wine

Château Margaux is one of the most striking constructions in the Bordeaux appellation, a large grand house built in the early 18th century on an estate that has been producing fine wine for hundreds of years, with a history dating back to the 12th century Bordeaux wine tradition. Quality was known to fluctuate in the first half of the 20th century, but that period of inconsistency ended with the arrival of wunderkind Paul Pontallier, a talented winemaker who worked nearly 35 vintages and produced some of the greatest wines in living memory. Paul passed on in 2016, and the team is now led by Philippe Bascaules and Sebastien Vergne, with consultancy from Eric Boissenot.

82 hectares are dedicated to red wine vines, with around 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Château Margaux produces around 30,000 cases of wine annually, with the Grand Vin accounting for around 35% of that total. Among their celebrated wines is Pavillon Rouge, the second wine of the estate, which stands as a testament to the estate's commitment to quality.

In addition to their renowned red wines, Château Margaux also produces a limited quantity of Sauvignon Blanc, adding another layer to their esteemed collection of Margaux wines. This white wine complements their offerings and demonstrates the estate’s versatility.
