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.

The 2018 Pavie Macquin is a blend of 78% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it slowly, sensuously unfurls to reveal a gorgeous perfume of Black Forest cake, Morello cherries, baked plums and violets, with nuances of licorice, Indian spices and fertile loam. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has achingly plush tannins and fantastic freshness framing the spicy black fruit and mineral layers, finishing long and so, so fragrant. Wow—just stunning!
Violets, blackcurrants, cloves, tobacco, orange zest and dark chocolate on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, silky tannins and fresh acidity. Sleek and refined with elegant floral and spice notes on a long finish. Interesting hint of bitterness at the end. Try from 2025.
One of my favorite wines, the 2018 Château Pavie Macquin is 78% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon that comes from a cooler terroir above Pavie. This Cuvée is always hard to judge in its youth, since it's often closed and reserved, but it builds beautifully with bottle age and offers an incredibly classic, complex, powerful, and elegant profile at maturity. Brought up in 70% new French oak, the 2018 reveals a dense purple hue as well as classic Saint-Emilion notes of cassis, black cherries, white truffle, chalky minerality, violets, and tobacco. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, it has polished tannins, a wonderfully pure, elegant texture, and the balance and class to benefit from a decade of bottle age and keep for three decades or more.
