Description
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 the 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. Drastic selection is possible through extensive insight into the soil and leads to optimal ripeness, harvesting and refinement of winemaking and maturation techniques. This rigorous work 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 from the 2022 vintage.
Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, such as Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, and produced from the estate's historic vines, Pavillon Blanc Second Vin will be appreciated in its youth and mature 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). Only 8,000 bottles produced for this first vintage.
