The fruits of very rigorous selection: no more than a third of an already small harvest was retained for the final blending; it is nevertheless the same proportion as last year. It is excellent to drink now but can be kept longer without any risk.

Reviewer: Ian d'Agata

Vivid gold-tinged straw. Fresh aromas of gooseberry, melon and green fig, with hints of ginger and lime oil in the background. Bright and nicely balanced, showing an enticing chewy texture to the honeydew, green fig and herb flavors. Leaves behind a refreshing note of passion fruit on the lingering, bright finish. This Pavillon Blanc offers a rare combination of creaminess and freshness and strikes me as one of the more successful versions in recent memory.
