Parker about Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux 2004
Although this spectacular 2004 tips the scales at an astonishing 14.5% alcohol, it is an elegant white Bordeaux offering notes of honeyed grapefruit, melons, orange rinds, and lemon oil. Medium-bodied, rich, beautifully textured, and pure, it should evolve for 15-20 years.

Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux 2004

The 2004 Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux is an outstanding white wine made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes, embodying the elegance and finesse for which Château Margaux is known. The 2004 vintage produced fresh and balanced wines in Bordeaux, and this Pavillon Blanc is an excellent example of the quality achieved in that vintage.
The Pavillon Blanc 2004 is a radiant, light straw yellow in color with greenish reflections, indicating its freshness and youthfulness. The bouquet is intense and refined, with aromas of citrus fruits such as grapefruit and lime, accompanied by notes of green apple, white peach, and a hint of exotic fruits such as pineapple. Floral accents of white blossoms and subtle herbal notes reminiscent of fresh grass and mint add depth and complexity to the wine.
On the palate, the Pavillon Blanc 2004 presents itself with exceptional freshness and vibrancy. The acidity is crisp and precise, giving the wine a clear structure and a lively, almost citrusy tension. The fruit aromas are pure and intense, supported by a mineral note that lends the wine elegance and length. Aging on the lees adds a delicate creaminess that gently envelops the palate without compromising its freshness.
The finish is long, clean, and refreshing, with lingering citrus notes and a hint of nutty nuances that slowly fade away. The 2004 Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux is now wonderfully ripe for drinking, but will continue to gain complexity in the years to come.
This wine is a perfect accompaniment to fine fish dishes, seafood, sushi or goat cheese and offers a luxurious and unforgettable drinking experience for lovers of fine white wines.
