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. The 2020 vintage was generally considered a very good year for both red and white wines. The weather conditions were favourable, with a warm and dry summer that allowed for optimal ripening of the grapes. The resulting wines are expected to have good concentration, freshness, and overall balance.

The 2020 Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux comes skidding out of the glass at high speed with vibrant notes of lemonade, fresh grapefruit, lime blossoms, and yuzu, followed by hints of coriander seed and chalk dust. The medium-bodied palate quivers with tension and energy, perfectly matching the vivacious citrus and mineral layers, finishing with epic length and grace. Pavillon Blanc has been bottled with a DIAM 30 cork since 2017.Lisa Perrotti-Brown12th March 2023

The 2020 Pavillon Blanc is quite opulent and oaky on the nose. It’s more tropical than its peers, with dried pineapple, white peach and light lanolin scents, but there is sufficient countervailing energy in situ. The palate is medium-bodied with a delineated and lightly spiced entry, a little honeyed in texture, building nicely toward the finish. This needs a couple more years in bottle, but it will come good. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.Neal Martin12th November 2024

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.
