Pavillon Blanc other_regions_italy Ripe and attractively fresh aromas

Ripe and attractively fresh aromas include those of black cherry coulis

creamy wine that shows incredible intensity of flavor without excess weight

Fermentation and malolactic fermentation take place in steel

the 2017 Flor de Pingus was produced from very concentrated grapes with lots of tannin

It's as though the Clos de Bèze and Chambertin have switched places in 2006 as here the nose is positively kaleidoscopic with a huge range of aromas and spice elements along with a hint of menthol

Pavillon Blanc other_regions_italy Ripe and attractively fresh aromasThe 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
