Château Margaux, Bordeaux Pavillon Blanc Second Wine CC 2023

Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux is the distinguished white wine of one of Bordeaux’s most historic estates, offering a rare expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the Margaux appellation. The 2023 vintage combines Château Margaux’s meticulous craftsmanship with the freshness, precision and refined character for which its white wines are renowned.

Tasting Notes
Bright and luminous in appearance, the wine opens with expressive aromas of citrus, white peach, pear and fresh-cut herbs, complemented by subtle floral and mineral nuances. On the palate, it is vibrant and finely textured, balancing lively acidity with concentrated fruit, elegant weight and a long, saline finish. While approachable in its youth when served well chilled, Pavillon Blanc has the structure and freshness to develop beautifully in bottle. With careful cellaring, it can gain additional complexity over the medium to long term, revealing more developed mineral, honeyed and lightly toasted notes.

Production
Produced by Château Margaux in the gravelly soils of the Médoc, where excellent drainage and the region’s maritime climate help preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. The estate selects fruit with great care before gentle pressing and precise fermentation, followed by maturation designed to preserve the wine’s purity, energy and varietal expression. Exact blend and production details for this release are not specified.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 10–12°C to highlight both its freshness and texture. It is an excellent match for oysters, grilled prawns, lobster, scallops, sushi, delicate white fish and fresh goat’s cheese. Decanting is not essential when the wine is young, although a brief 15–30 minute aeration can help reveal its aromas; mature bottles are best handled gently and may benefit from careful decanting if sediment is present.

Producer
Founded in the 16th century, Château Margaux is one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated estates and a Premier Grand Cru Classé of the 1855 classification. Located in the Margaux appellation, the château is best known for its exceptional red wines, while Pavillon Blanc represents its rare and highly regarded white-wine tradition. Its limited production, meticulous vineyard work and reputation for elegance have made it one of Bordeaux’s most sought-after white wines.
