Somewhat under most consumer’s radar is the 100% non-malolactic Sauvignon Blanc produced at Chateau Margaux. In some vintages, this beautiful offering can hit terrific heights of quality (i.e., 1999, 2001, and 2004). The 2003, which is not a great vintage for most dry white Bordeaux (because of the heat), is somewhat soft and flat. It reveals honeysuckle, pineapple, and more exotic fruit characteristics than the classic 2004.
