Pavillon Blanc other_regions_italy Ripe and attractively fresh aromas

Ripe and attractively fresh aromas include those of black cherry coulis

Surprisingly there is a touch of menthol on the still youthfully fresh and bright nose of mostly red berry fruit

rich and concentrated big-bodied flavors that possess obvious muscle and simply fantastic length on the overtly austere

This elegance defies the vintage and resets your palate to a place of nuance and finesse that is nearly impossible to find in these 2017 releases

Pavillon Blanc other_regions_italy Ripe and attractively fresh aromasThe 2014 Pavillon Blanc de Chteau Margaux is just a bit anonymous on the nose, despite encouragement. The palate is sharp on the entry, very edgy and sharp, verging on sour lemon mixed with lime and peach towards the finish. This is one of the few Bordeaux dry whites that improved with aeration and I ended up giving a higher score. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. Neal Martin
