2022 Pavillon Blanc Second Vin (Chateau Margaux)
| Description: | Since the early 18th century, Château Margaux has produced an exceptional and unique white wine. Historically known as Château Margaux Vin Blanc de Sauvignon, it took its current name, Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, in 1920. In its pursuit of excellence, the estate now selects less than half of the harvest for blending Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux. A drastic selection possible through extensive understanding of soils and leading to optimal ripeness harvesting and refining winemaking and aging techniques. This rigorous work has not only improved the quality of Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, but also resulted in a second selection of such high quality that the estate decided to bottle it starting with the 2022 vintage. • Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, like Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, and produced from the estate's historic vines, Pavillon Blanc Second Vin will be appreciated in its youth and will age harmoniously for at least twenty years • The 11-hectares vineyard is composed only of Sauvignon blanc, with old vines (50 years old) on clay and limestone soils generating very low yields (15 to 20 hl/ha). • This new wine benefits from the Pavillon Blanc cellar's ultra-modern installation designed by Norman Foster in 2015. • Aged in French oak barrels (25% new), half of them being demi-muids (500l). • Only 8 000 bottles produced for this first vintage.
