2022 Pavillon Blanc Second Vin

Only 8,000 bottles of Pavillon Blanc Second Vin were produced from this initial vintage, as 2022 was the hottest and driest year on record for Château Margaux. Yields were among the lowest in the estate’s history, but the intense heatwaves led to ‘an amazing vintage producing wines with aromatic complexity and concentration’, according to Château Margaux. Pavillon Blanc Second Vin is said to have a complex and floral nose, leading to a creamy palate balanced by a fresh, saline finish. The wine will be available soon at specialist retailers. It can be enjoyed in youth, but it will also age harmoniously for at least 20 years.
