Bordeaux Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux CC 2022

Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux is the rare white-wine expression of one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated estates. Produced in very limited quantities, the 2022 vintage combines the purity and aromatic lift of Sauvignon Blanc with the depth, texture and long finish associated with Château Margaux. It offers a distinctive alternative to the estate’s legendary red wines and is highly sought after by collectors.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a bright, pale golden colour with youthful clarity. Its nose is expressive and refined, revealing citrus zest, white flowers, ripe pear and subtle tropical fruit, complemented by delicate mineral and lightly herbal notes. On the palate, it is fresh and concentrated, with vibrant acidity balanced by a rounded, silky texture. Layers of lemon, stone fruit and discreet oak lead to a long, precise finish. Although approachable in its youth, Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux has the structure and concentration to develop beautifully in bottle. With careful cellaring, the 2022 vintage should gain additional complexity, including richer fruit, honeyed nuances and deeper mineral character over the next decade or more.

Production
The vineyards of Château Margaux are planted on the gravel and clay soils of the Médoc, where excellent drainage and the region’s maritime climate help preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand to ensure that only perfectly ripe, healthy fruit reaches the cellar. Vinification combines the estate’s traditional precision with modern cellar practices, allowing the wine to ferment and mature with a restrained use of oak that supports, rather than masks, its purity and freshness.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Pavillon Blanc is an excellent match for oysters, shellfish, grilled lobster, seared scallops and delicate white fish, while its texture also suits roasted poultry, asparagus and creamy vegetable dishes. Decanting is not essential when young, but a brief decant of 20–30 minutes can help reveal its full aromatic range; mature bottles are best opened and served carefully to preserve their freshness.

Producer
Château Margaux is one of Bordeaux’s most prestigious estates and a Premier Cru Classé property from the 1855 Classification.

Its approximately 265 hectares include around one-third planted to vines, on a classic gravel-and-clay terroir. While Château Margaux is best known for its iconic red wine, Pavillon Blanc is a highly respected and limited white wine that demonstrates the estate’s ability to produce world-class wines across styles.
