2024 Château Margaux Pavillon Blanc Second Vin

The estate has been producing white wine for over 300 years. In recent years, the estate has retained less than half of the harvest for the blend of the Pavillon Blanc. As a result of the meticulous and rigorous work on the Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, a little brother was created in 2023: Pavillon Blanc Second Vin, starting with the 2022 vintage. The 2024 Pavillon Blanc Second Vin stands out for its freshness and elegance. On the nose, it reveals a delicate bouquet of perfectly balanced floral and citrus aromas. On the palate, the wine is characterized by a smooth, generous texture with seamless roundness and softness. The finish is fresh and persistent, supported by a beautiful acidity. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, like Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, and produced from the estate's historic vines, Pavillon Blanc Second Vin will be appreciated in its youth and age harmoniously for at least twenty years. The 11-hectare vineyard consists exclusively of Sauvignon Blanc, with old vines (50 years old) on clay and limestone soils that generate very low yields (15 to 20 hl/ha). Since the beginning of the 18th century, Château Margaux has been producing an exceptional and unique white wine. Historically known as Château Margaux Vin Blanc de Sauvignon, it was given its current name, Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, in 1920. In its pursuit of excellence, the estate now selects less than half of the harvest for blending Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux. This drastic selection is made possible by extensive insight into the soil and leads to optimal ripeness, harvesting, and refinement of winemaking and aging techniques. This rigorous work has not only improved the quality of Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux but also resulted in a second selection of such high quality that the estate decided to bottle it starting from the 2022 vintage.
