Château Margaux: Bordeaux, France
Pavillon Blanc 2005, Bordeaux Blanc
2005 appears to be a replica of the great 2004. It has the richness and same alcohol (14.5), but also finesse and aromatic complexity. It is hard to believe that this wine comes only from Sauvignon, but it shows the grape variety is nothing without its terroir, and the terroir nothing without the vintage.
“Another excellent vintage for Bordeaux’s dry whites, which tend to be vastly underrated and exceptionally long lived (30-40 years in some cases). The 2005s possess crisp acidity as well as serious weight, richness and texture. Space constraints did not allow full tasting notes, but this is one of the top 2005 dry white Bordeaux wines.” 92-94 Wine Advocate, April 2006
“Dense and intense with lots of lemon, pear and apple character, with vanilla and cream undertones. Long and beautiful.” 92-94 Wine Spectator, March 2006
