Margaux Pavillon Blanc 2012 is a full-bodied white wine from the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. Pavillon Blanc is the white wine produced by the prestigious Château Margaux. It is considered one of the finest white wines from Bordeaux, made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, with a portion of new oak, to add complexity and structure. "More opulent than the 2010, with plenty of honeysuckle, melon and orange rind-scented and flavoured fruit, this medium-bodied 2012 reveals terrific acidity. It is a brilliant example of a fresh, well-delineated 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Chateau Margaux. It should drink well for 20-25 years as these wines have considerable longevity." Wine Advocate, 2013

The 2012 Pavillon Blanc comes across as a bit closed today and far less expressive than the reds. Green pear, grapefruit, white flowers and lime unfold in a graceful, exquisite Pavillon Blanc built on delicacy and finesse, while the bright, saline-infused finish makes it virtually impossible to resist a second taste. Tightly-wound and energetic to the core, the 2012 appears to have a very bright future. - Antonio Galloni

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.
