2005 Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, Margaux, Bordeaux

Description

It never ceases to amaze us how such a fine white wine can be made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Despite the incredible ripeness of the fruit, this is all finesse and elegance with beguiling aromatics and pure, cool, minerally, pineapple and citrus fruit. The finish is zingy, intense and aristocratic. Even Paul Pontallier admits that this is not made to taste like classic Sauvignon Blanc. It is of course so much better than that - what Sauvignon, after all, could last and improve for over 15 years, or be as good as this?

Critics reviews

Robert Parker 93/100
This stunningly rich 100% Sauvignon Blanc is drinking fabulously well at present, yet it has the potential to evolve for 15-20 more years. Waxy lemon oil, honeysuckle, nectarine, and subtle new oak characteristics are all present in this light gold-colored, long wine.Robert M. Parker, Jr. - 30/04/2008
