  "I'd say the finest white I've ever tasted from this estate, the 2018 Château Margaux Pavillon Blanc is all Sauvignon brought all in barrel. Its vivid gold hue is followed by an incredible bouquet of candied lemons, white grapefruit, crushed stone-like minerality, and a rich, flower oil-like character that develops with time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, racy, yet incredibly concentrated, with serious extract, richness, and glycerol, it has an almost red wine-like sense of structure and length. Whites in 2018 don't get any better than this. Enjoy this sensational white any time over the coming 15-20 years."

  James Suckling
  "A dynamic dry white with lemon rind, pears and sherbet, as well as vanilla and lilac character. It’s full-bodied with a tight, focused palate of lovely ripe fruit and vivid acidity. Timid, yet classy at the finish. Energetic acidity. 1,000 cases made. Try after 2023."

  Weinwisser
  "Helles Gelb mit zarten lindgrünen Reflexen. Betörender Duft nach frischer Pomelo, Zitronengras und Renekloden. Am komplexen Gaumen mit reifem Extrakt und spürbarer Mineralik, beeindruckende Tiefe zeigend. Im aromatischen saftigen Finale mit edler weisser Pfeffernote und Agrumen. «Der Wein hat den Trockenstress gut verdaut, es wurde daher früher gelesen. Ein reifer Sauvignon Blanc, dicht und trotzdem mit Spannung, komplex, ist nicht (ganz) auf dem Level wie 2017, etwas weniger konzentriert, wir haben den perfekten Stil gefunden,» meint Direktor Philippe Bascaules stolz. Gehört zu den besten weissen Gewächsen in diesem Jahr!"

  Wine Spectator
  "This ripples with tension as the core of gooseberry, chalk, white asparagus and fleur de sel is chiseled and taut while the sides of the wine glisten with floral notes. There's a late flurry of thyme and tarragon for additional range and length, as if it needed any. About as pure and unencumbered an expression of a grape as you can get. Drink now through 2028."
