  James Suckling
  "Opulent and delicious with lots of green mango and pineapple aromas and flavors. Smoked cream and green apples. Showing salty, briny character, it’s dense but not heavy, flavorful and very long. Pear-drop candy at the end. Pure sauvignon blanc, as always. Rich yet lively and wonderful. Feels like a great Montrachet. One for the cellar. 8,000 bottles made. You just want to drink it. Drink or hold."

  "Harvested from the 18th of August, the 2022 Château Margaux Pavillon Blanc has a classic Margaux vibrancy and crisp style that belies the warmth and sunny nature of the vintage. Gorgeous citrus, crushed stone, mint, and sappy, floral nuances all define the aromatics, and it’s medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a pure, layered, seamless mouthfeel, bright acidity (pH 3.10), and a great finish. Give it a few years and enjoy over the following decade."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Lemon chiffon, lawn grass, pears, vanilla, white peach, and tangerine skin nuances form the core of this wine. The wine is forward, sweet, creamy, and pure, with a buttery accent on the long, fruit-packed, fresh, vibrant backend. The wine will be a pleasure to enjoy on release and over the following decade or longer. The wine is produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc.13.4% ABV. 3.18 pH. Yields were only 14 hectoliters per hectare, so not much of this wine was made. If you are a fan, act quickly. This is the white wine of the vintage! Drink from 2024-2037."

  "Crisp green apples, elderflowers, quince, and yellow fruit on the nose - cool but not tropical. Pear and pineapple at first, then a sharp shot of bitter lime tightens the palate, driving a long, precise finish. Salty, with subtle toasted spice. More opulent than 2021, but still unmistakably Pavillon Blanc. A structured outer shell gives an impression of richness, yet it finishes calm and controlled. Bitter orange, lime, and peach linger at the end. Salinity and tension give this a sophisticated edge."
