Pavillon Blanc Margaux 2015 is a dry white wine produced by Château Margaux, crafted solely from Sauvignon Blanc. The 2015 vintage is celebrated for its exceptional conditions, contributing to a wine with pronounced fruit character and depth. It exhibits a pale straw hue and reveals aromas of citrus peel, green apple and floral notes, intertwined with hints of minerality. The palate is structured, featuring a vibrant acidity that provides freshness and clarity, leading to a persistent finish.
93 Robert Parker
Coming from vines that are now over 40 years old, representing only one-third of the total production and, as always, produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2015 Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux was matured for eight months in barrels, 20% new. The nose simply sings of fresh peaches, pink grapefruit and almonds with touches of dried herbs, crushed stones, allspice and honeycomb plus a waft of elderflower. The medium-bodied palate reveals a lovely satiny texture, great intensity and a racy backbone to support the vibrant fruit, finishing long with some tropical notes coming through. Although it is delicious now, it is certainly closed compared to what it will be in a year or two and can easily cellar for 20 years or more. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The 2015 Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux has a clean, pure bouquet featuring subtle tropical notes of passion fruit and guava, oakier than some of its peers at the moment. The palate is well balanced with a pleasant fatness on the entry, orange pith and mango coming to the fore. The finish is simplistic but quite commercially savvy. This is a crowd-pleasing Pavillon Blanc that should give several years of drinking pleasure, though perhaps one to enjoy more in its flush of youth.

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.
