Pavillon Blanc Second Vin has a complex and floral nose leading to a creamy palate balanced by a fresh, saline finish. Only 8,000 bottles of Pavillon Blanc Second Vin were produced for this first vintage, with yields that were among the lowest in the estate’s history. 2022 was the hottest and driest year on record for Château Margaux. Three long and intense heatwaves followed one another during the summer, while more than six long weeks went by without a single drop of rain. We decided to start harvesting the white plots on the 18th of August in order to preserve the freshness of the wines. The white harvest was thus the earliest in the estate’s history and gave birth to an amazing vintage producing wines with aromatic complexity and concentration.
