  • Goedhuis, April 2023, Score: 94-96

    With a yield of just 14hl/ha, this is unsurprisingly a deeply intense and concentrated wine. Cherry blossom and lavender, with a lively saline touch. Flavours of bitter orange and mint. There is a perfect balance of weight and tense chiselled energy. Lovely.

  • Antonio Galloni, April 2023, Score: 92-94

    On 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. Drink 2026-2037.

  • James Suckling, April 2023, Score: 99-100

    This is a powerful white with superb density and phenolic muscule. It's full-bodied and really impressive. Opulent and rounded. Exotic and muscular. Great white. Feels like a great Montrachet. One for the cellar. 8,000 bottles made. pH 3.18.

  • Matthew Jukes, April 2023, Score: 19

    This wine represents 50% of the harvest Pavillon Blanc was picked after the rain in August, allowing it to retain stunning freshness and epic acidity. This is a laser-sighted wine with long, sweeping citrus notes and discreet florals, and all of these notes face in the same direction, travelling along the same tracks. This is a gorgeous wine packed with tension and finesse, and it is also instantly delicious. It will perform the great trick of drinking well in its youth and ageing brilliantly. There is a libidinous hint of saltiness here, which coincidentally pops up in the Château Margaux reds, making Pavillon Blanc gloriously mouthwatering and uncommonly refreshing.

  • Jane Anson, April 2023, Score: 96

    Pale gold in colour, maintaining pale green reflections even in such a hot vintage, and this delivers a sharp almost steely feel, with a white flower and citrus kick. The luscious aspect of the year comes through with lemon confit through the mid palate, and overall the fruit flavours and textures are creamier than in 2021, but this has nuance and lift. The team at Margaux, led by Philippe Bascaules, is always so careful to avoid skin contact in the whites, and only use the first fraction of the juice that comes out of the press;, and it pays off in this exceptional wine. 3.18ph (higher than last year but still low enough to give clear grip). Harvest for the whites from August 18 for five days. 14h/h yield, extremely low, with 50% of the crop in Pavillon Blanc (they are introducing a 2nd white wine this year, although name not yet announced).

Producer

Château Margaux

Known as the most elegant and aromatic First Growth due to its Cabernet-friendly, sandy soil, Château Margaux is owned by the Mentzelopoulos family. The estate's vineyard holdings amount to almost 200 acres, though a much smaller percentage is selected for the grand vin to ensure exceptional concentration.

Region

Margaux

Plump, silky and seductive are the words often used to describe wines from Margaux. Because of their style, they tend to be user friendly and more approachable when young. This is in part due to its terroir which is comprised of the thinnest soil as well as the highest proportion of chunky gravel in all of the Médoc. It drains well but also is it more susceptible to vintage variation. Margaux wines tend to have the highest proportions of Merlot within the core of the Médoc further adding to their ample roundness and openness. Margaux is home to the largest number of classified growths including its namesake first growth, Château Margaux, as well as third growths, Palmer and d'Issan.
