The 2004 Pavillon Blanc from Château Margaux is made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc, boasting an impressive 14.5% ABV. Displaying a medium golden hue, the wine exudes aromas of smoke, flint, ripe apples, walnuts, white peaches, a touch of honey, and a hint of grapefruit. On the palate, it reveals richness and concentration, but also freshness and a pleasant touch of bitterness. Overall, the wine presents a complex and deep profile with a round texture, maintaining a bright and vibrant acidity.
Although this spectacular 2004 tips the scales at an astonishing 14.5% alcohol, it is an elegant white Bordeaux offering notes of honeyed grapefruit, melons, orange rinds, and lemon oil. Medium-bodied, rich, beautifully textured, and pure, it should evolve for 15-20 years.Robert Parker30th June 2006

The 2004 Pavillon Blanc has an exceedingly Loire-like bouquet with impressive vitality. White tea and orange blossom traces emerge with time. The palate is beautifully balanced with Anjou pear and Golden Delicious notes. Fine weight and sour lemon impart tension on the finish. My only quibble is that it is a bit short, but otherwise, a delight. Tasted at the château.Neal Martin1st September 2023

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.
