Infos produit

This year, the spring was very rainy and the summer was hot and dry, creating excellent conditions for flowering. Until the end of the harvest, very nice sunny weather set in, which allowed the grapes to reach an excellent level of maturity.
These exceptional conditions made it possible to make a great white vintage, with a quality comparable to that of the 1982 vintage. The 1983 vintage once again demonstrates the excellent potential for improvement in bottles of the Pavillon Blanc 1982 du Château Margaux. This second wine is still today admirable in terms of freshness and complexity.
