The Winery

Pavie Macquin

A modern day elixir that should prove to be monumental…
–Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

Located in the St. Emilion appellation of Bordeaux, Château Pavie Macquin has a respected classification of Premier Grand Cru Classé B status. The chateau got its start when negociant Ferdinand Bouffard sold it to Albert Macquin who rose to fame when he was the first to use the rootstock grafting method to battle the ongoing phylloxera pandemic of the time. The Pavie Macquin estate is bordered by the two other Pavie estates- Château Pavie and Château Pavie-Decesse, all of which are owned by Gerard Perse. Because of their location on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, Pavie Macquin is known for their Merlot-dominant blends with additional amounts of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery’s reputation changed drastically for the better in 1990 when Stephane Derenoncourt joined the winemaking team, and since then Pavie Macquin has been extremely popular in the premium, terroir-driven wine market.

Tasting Notes

WS95
Hyperlush, with very creamy fig, blackberry and boysenberry flavors that stay well-defined, as charred apple wood, black tea and singed vanilla bean notes stride in behind. The long, authoritative finish drips with fruit and toasted spice, offering grip for balance. Very impressive. Best from 2014 through 2030.
WE94
Very fruity aromas hint that this is a bright wine, its tannins shaded by the red and black berry flavors. The structure is integrated, showing ripe as well as fresh fruit with final flavors of chocolate.
