Chateau Margaux Pavillon Blanc Second Vin, Bordeaux, France 2024

Pavillon Blanc Second Vin 2024 offers a fresh, vibrant interpretation of one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated white wine programs. Crafted from meticulously selected Sauvignon Blanc parcels, it balances lifted aromas of grapefruit, lemon zest, white peach, and spring flowers with a refined palate of citrus, crisp orchard fruit, and subtle mineral tension. Bright acidity and delicate texture carry through to a clean, elegant finish, making it as enjoyable in its youth as it is versatile at the table. Produced in limited quantities with the same uncompromising attention to detail that defines its grand vin counterpart, this is a sophisticated white that overdelivers in both pedigree and charm.

" All Sauvignon Blanc that will spend nine months in barrel with plenty of lees stirring, the 2024 Château Margaux Pavillon Blanc reveals terrific honeyed citrus, passion fruit, mint, and exotic flower notes in its aromatics. It's beautifully textured on the palate, with a layered, almost creamy mouthfeel, integrated, bright acidity, and a great finish." Jeb Dunnuck 95-97
