James Suckling: 98 Points
Incredible clarity and freshness with minerals, lemons, chalk and steel. It’s so racy and exciting. Changes to white peaches and mangoes. Just flies at the end of the palate. Super subtle. Delicate yet agile and powerful. Pinpointed structure and flavors. It lasts for minutes on the palate. Just a hint of lemon rind and salt. A triumph. Better in 2018. But who can wait?
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Pure, bright and mouthwatering, with melon rind, honeysuckle and quinine notes rippling along beautifully, accented by green almond on the finish. Hums like a just-struck tuning fork. Seriously long. Bring on the blanquette de veau.
Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
A continuing success story for the white from Château Margaux, this crisply herbaceous wine delivers impressive depths of flavor and texture. Lemon and apple dominate the fruitiness, with a touch of honey to contrast with the crisp acidity. Drink from 2017.
Vinous: 93 Points
Green pear, grapefruit, white flowers and lime unfold in a graceful, exquisite Pavillon Blanc built on delicacy and finesse, while the bright, saline-infused finish makes it virtually impossible to resist a second taste. Tightly-wound and energetic to the core, the 2012 appears to have a very bright future.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
Delicious citrus notes with a hint of spring flowers and figs characterize this medium-bodied, fresh, lively 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Drink it over the next 10+ years, although this wine has a fabulous reputation for aging two decades or more.
