This has loads of dried lemon, aniseed and fennel seeds aromas and flavors. Lemon zest as well. Full body, dry with bright acidity and fruit. Very intense. Powerful finish. Drink now.

Already in bottle, the 2013 Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux (100% Sauvignon Blanc) reveals stunning notes of honeyed grapefruit, lemon zest and a hint of tropical fruit in a medium-bodied, crisp, fresh, lively style. Despite being fermented and aged in wood, the oak component is pushed to the background. The wine shows terrific acidity, purity and personality. Drink it over the next decade or more.

Pale, gold-tinged straw. Clean, fresh aromas of apricot, gooseberry and green fig, with a distinct suggestion of exotic fruits. Concentrated and full, showing impressive volume for the year. Lively, integrated acidity gives the wine very good life in the mouth and extends the bright gooseberry and kiwi flavors on the back end.

Made, as it always is, with 100% Sauvignon Blanc, this was far easier to vinify than the reds at Château Margaux. It’s a sappy, smoky, reductive style, with notes of pink grapefruit and smoked lemons, tangy acidity and a long, tapering finish.

The yield was a tiny 25 hl/ha. 13% alcohol. They finished the harvest before the botrytis attacked. Very aromatic indeed with concentrated, zestiness and superb, sour lime notes. This is a very clever Pavillon and I love the lower alcohol which balances the wine so much better than the 15% alcohol vintages. They only used 40% of the crop

Lemon, grapefruit, mint, crushed rocks and slate wrap around the palate in the 2013 Pavillon Blanc, a wine that deftly balances bright, focused aromatics with gorgeous textural finesse, all supported by beams of intense, vibrant salinity. The Pavillon Blanc is a drop-dead gorgeous white with tons of potential. Sadly, only 40% of the crop made it into the bottle.

Grande finesse dans les arômes floraux et légèrement exotiques du sauvignon, corps très équilibré, finale saline, beaucoup de nerf et de fraîcheur, superbe vinification, mais il sera moins puissant et complet que les grands millésimes du début du millénaire

The Pavillon Blanc was picked from 19 to 27 September, which Paul Pontallier mentioned was before the botrytis hit. The blend has not physically been made although the sample is representative of the final blend. They key to its success is that being 100% Sauvignon Blanc, this grape variety is less prone to rot. It has a delicate bouquet with gooseberry and grapefruit scents, a hint of gravel in the background. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity. It is perhaps not the most complex Pavillon Blanc I have tasted, although it has great persistency in the mouth.

Silver-pale, lovely bouquet of wild irises. Vineyard dominating the 100% Sauvignon fruit, crisp, floral, perfectly balanced.

A tangy, lively white from Margaux with sliced-lemon, citrus-skin and grapefruit character. Full body with a solid core of fruit and a long, long finish. So expressive and lively. 100% sauvignon blanc.

Bracing, lively, mouthwatering verbena, thyme and white asparagus notes show crackling mâche and chive notes through the finish, with a flicker of sel gris. Not as much of a rapier as the 2011, but it’s close. Tasted non-blind. —J.M.

An explosion of fruit on the nose gives this wine a wonderfully fresh character and tropical fruitiness. The wine is bright and full of dense pineapple and apricot flavors, with ample final acidity.
