This is only the second time that Chateau Margaux has released a second wine of their highly sought-after Pavillon Blanc label and we are delighted to offer this your way today – Pavillon Blanc Second Vin 2023.
Only the fifth new wine to be released by Chateau Margaux in five centuries, this cuvee has been made possible due to an increasingly stringent selection of grapes for the Pavillon Blanc du Margaux label. The team retains less than half of the harvest to go onto Pavillon Blanc, selecting based on optimum ripeness and vinifying in separate batches. Thanks to innovation and deeper understanding of individual plots and soil types at the estate, this has allowed for the creation a wine the estate is calling a ‘little brother’. It is produced from around twenty batches, sourced from just over 10ha of vines.
According to the chateau, “the 2023 vintage is the result of rigorous work and an in-depth understanding of the Sauvignon Blanc terroirs. These sustained efforts have made it possible to fine-tune the precision of Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux.”
A beautiful Bordeaux Blanc with an insight into some of the world’s finest winemaking and a wonderful addition to any collection. We are pleased to offer:
