Made from just 30% of the white crop in 2015, the wine known as the Grand Vin de Sauvignon until 1920 in effect only produced 7 hectolitres per hectare, which will create fewer than 10,000 bottles. With density and freshness on the explosive palate, this is a wonderful white wine. A very different, far riper, weightier style than the 2014, this would surprise many in a blind taste. We could still taste it when we arrived at our next appointment … at the other end of the Médoc!

Extremely rich nose. Racy and lively with a green streak. Deliberately more acidity than in the old days. Just finishes a little more suddenly than I expected.
The 2015 Pavillon Blanc, 100% Sauvignon Blanc, is bright, finely sculpted and classically understated in style. Citrus, white flowers, white pepper, mint and green pear abound. Weightless, translucent and also wonderfully taut, the Pavillon Blanc is one of the great white wines of the year. The nuanced, saline finish suggests the 2015 has a bright future.
The 2015 Pavillon Blanc de Château Margaux was cropped at 20 hl/ha and represents just one-third of the production, equivalent to around 10,000 bottles. It has a fresh lime cordial, apple blossom and white peach scented bouquet that is very seductive. The palate is well balanced with a keen thread of acidity, engendered by the cool nights in August and September. It is very harmonious with almond and a touch of stem ginger and sour lemon towards the finish, an accomplished Pavillon Blanc that should offer 10-15 years of pleasure.
This is like biting into perfectly ripe grapes with dried apple, peach and pear. Full and energetic with a pretty texture and length.
