This collection has come from a long line of seasoned wine enthusiasts, cellared under temperature and humidity control in an estate North of Toronto. A shift in preferences has lead them to liquidate some of their cellar, and we are fortunate to be able to offer these bottles at IronGate.Wine.
The score for 1996 Pavillon Blanc du Chateau Margaux is 90 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - A wine that should not be missed when it comes on the market is the 1996 Pavillon Blanc. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, it is a concentrated, crisp wine with natural alcohol of nearly 14%. One of the most intense Pavillon Blancs I have ever tasted, it should provide glorious drinking during its first decade of life, although it will last much longer.
