Château Pavie Macquin, fra Saint-Émilion, har en dyb og fascinerende historie. Navnet stammer fra ejernes bedstefar, Albert Macquin (1852-1911), som indførte podning af vinstokke og reddede dermed vinmarkerne, der var blevet ødelagt af druebladlusen.
Dette familieejede slot har en enestående beliggenhed på det højeste plateau i Saint-Émilion. I slutningen af 1994 blev Nicolas Thienpont udnævnt som forvalter af ejendommen.
Château Pavie Macquin er kendt for at udtrykke jordens hemmeligheder i sine vine. Den kraftfulde, fyldige karakter kombineret med mineralitet, friskhed og generøsitet afspejler det unikke terroir, hvor ler hviler på kalksten.
Vingårdens druesammensætning, med en overvægt af Merlot, er nøje udvalgt for at matche de stærke lerjordforhold.
Château Pavie Macquin er i sandhed en skat og fortsætter med at levere vinoplevelser af højeste kvalitet år efter år.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Pavie Macquin comes charging out of the glass with exuberant scents of warm black cherries, blackberry pie and wild blueberry coulis plus hints of menthol, licorice, candied violets and charcuterie. Medium-bodied, the palate is an exercise in precision and poise, featuring a beautiful frame of wonderfully ripe, very fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing very long and multilayered. Simply stunning! The blend here is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. It was aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, 70% new. Drinking Window : 2021 - 2046
The 2017 Pavie Macquin is a rich, deep and super-expressive wine with remarkable persistence. As always, Pavie Macquin is a potent Saint-Émilion, but the 2017 has terrific energy as well. In 2017, Pavie-Macquin is not as forthcoming in its youth as it can be, and is going to need a few years in bottle to truly come together. A bit of time in the glass brings out very pretty floral top notes and rich, sensual fruit that is such a signature of this site. Tasted three times.
Features a delightfully pure aromatic burst of cassis and cool plum fruit leading off, followed by a rush of violet and lilac notes that add lift. Underneath, a subtle graphite edge injects sneaky length through the finish. Built on purity and cut. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2022 through 2040. 4,833 cases made. — JM
