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.

Lots of roses and dark fruit, such as blackberries and brambleberries on the nose. Full-bodied, yet tight and poised, with real focus and firmness and seamless tannins that run the length of the wine. Minerality and persistence in a cool way. This is very serious for the vintage and for the cellar. Try after 2025.
The 2019 Château Pavie Macquin comes from a beautiful, cooler terroir located just outside the village of Saint-Emilion. A wine that always demands bottle age, its deep ruby/purple color is followed by a tight, reserved wine with notes of ripe cassis, mulberry, and blackberry fruits as well as notes of spring flowers, sandalwood, and flowers. The purity is truly something, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a rich, layered mid-palate, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. This is a wonderfully complete, nuanced, flawlessly balanced Pavie Macquin that will round into form with just 5-6 years of bottle age yet keep for 2-3 decades.
The 2019 Pavie Macquin has turned out very well indeed, unwinding in the glass with aromas of blackcurrants, cherries, burning embers, black truffle and licorice, framed by a deft framing of new oak that's more discreet than was the case even a few vintages back. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's deep and layered, with a strikingly vibrant core of fruit, powdery, chalky tannins and a long, penetrating, youthfully firm finish. Tasted alongside older vintages, it's clear that the Thienpont team have eased off extraction, which allows the quality of fruit that this fantastic vineyard produces to express itself all the more completely, delivering the finest Pavie Macquin since 1998. 96+
