13 Apr 2023 ? This is an powerful white with superb density and phenolic muscule. It's full-bodied and really impressive. Opulent and rounded. Exotic and muscular. Grea
I'd say the finest white coming out of the Médoc and clearly in the top tier of whites in all of Bordeaux the 2022 Pavillon Blanc De Margaux is as always 100% Sauvignon Blanc that was raised in 20% new 300-ltier barrels. It has an incredible nose of honeyed limes caramelized lemon zest green almonds mint and crushed stone. Medium-bodied on the palate it has a great mid-palate vibrant acidity and a great finish. Sauvignon Blanc doesn't get much better (if at all.)
vOn the palate the 2022 Pavillon Blanc retains terrific freshness and is done in a style that lies somewhere in between more generous years such as 2018 2019 and 2020 and the more saline years like 2017 and 2021. This is a very creamy layered dry white. Here too I am struck by the wine?s precision.
