Pavillon Blanc 2024

Medium golden yellow; expressive on the nose, citrus notes, exotic fruits, chamomile blossoms, herbs, a nose to dive into; creamy on the attack yet linear, not an ounce of fat, very well-structured, energetic, vertical, tremendous drinkability, gliding almost weightlessly over the tongue, with a finish of wonderful length. An outstanding Pavillon Blanc.

Pavillon 2024’s bouquet brims with freshness, detail and tropical nuances, combining notes of passion fruit, mirabelle plums and fresh pineapple, underpinned by a core of freshness and depth. Nothing dominates, yet everything is clearly expressed. With a slightly saline edge on the attack, the wine stands out for its elegance, subtle temperament, freshness and seemingly endless aromatic persistence. A complete, mouthwatering, refreshing wine that will certainly be enjoyable young, yet it also has the structure to carry it through time. Drink or wait—don’t choose, do both!

Crisp green apple, and lively gooseberry with elderflower florality. Peach, passionfruit and citrus. Clean and focused, this has drive from the start - succulent and mouth watering with hints of tropical fruit balanced by stone fruit and then salty, bitter lemon and orange touches on the finish. Pineapple - lively, and bright but also not too sharp at all. Great fat and acidity. Less batonnage than in most years. Feels more delicate than most Pavillon Blancs, yet it retains the complexity and nuance. Crisp and refreshing but with a lively character. Easy to drink. Picked 2-8th September. A yield of 30hl/ha. 3.2pH.

The wine is produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc.13% ABV. 3.2 pH. Harvesting took place only in the mornings, from September 2 - September 8. Drink from 2026-2038. 95-95 Pts

A lovely nose that is elegant, airy, delicate, melodious and complex, offering fine definition, aromatic richness with plenty of elegance, and a velvety feel. It reveals notes of juicy pear, crushed apple and, more subtly, fleshy vineyard peach, alongside touches of sweet flowers, delicate hints of pineapple, verbena and quenette, as well as a subtle note of ripe citrus and star fruit. The palate is beautifully handled—supple, elegant, airy and delicate—bringing richness, a fleshy texture, finesse, depth, a tangy edge and energy. All with precision and control. A lovely, refined creaminess from bâtonnage on the lees.

A fine gastronomic wine, nicely structured/built, with precision, gourmandise and energy. Opulence with finesse.
