Château Margaux presents the new vintage of its Pavillon Blanc Second Vin 2024. Made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, this wine continues the quest for excellence that began with Château Margaux’s Pavillon Blanc.
The 2024 harvest took place between September 2nd and 8th, slightly later than in previous years. The ideal conditions and the rigorous work of the team enabled slow, balanced ripening of the grapes, preserving not only their freshness and concentration, but also the full aromatic purity of the berries.
Plot selection, at the heart of the estate’s work, once again played an essential role: each plot of sauvignon blanc was harvested and vinified separately, allowing careful monitoring and very precise blending.
For this third vintage, Pavillon Blanc Second Vin 2024 expresses the sauvignon blanc varietal character more clearly than the 2023, revealing a fresh nose with citrus notes. On the palate, it has lovely tension, supported by remarkable aromatic length. Elegant, long and delicate, it stands out for its perfectly integrated, almost imperceptible oak. Already very pleasant to drink, it will gain in complexity over the next two to three years.
