creamy wine that shows incredible intensity of flavor without excess weight

Ripe and attractively fresh aromas include those of black cherry coulis

Pavillon Blanc other_regions_italy Surprisingly there is a touchThe 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
