Blackberry, nutmeg and cappuccino aromas follow through to a full body, with very soft, round tannins and ripe fruit. Juicy and rich. Classy. Best from 2014 through 2020. 4,165 cases made. JS

From a superbly situated on St.-Emilions plateau, 38-acre vineyard planted on primarily limestone and clay, this 2006 is meant for long-term aging. A combination of 80% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, it is a backward, brawny, muscular, long distance runner. Consumers lacking patience are advised to steer clear of this wine. Its dense purple color is followed by aromas of graphite, sweet cassis, pen ink, and charcoal. This powerful, dense, concentrated wine possesses high tannins and lots of structure. One of the more backward offerings from the right bank in 2006, it will not be close to drinkability for 8-10 years. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2030

Tiefes Rubin-Purpur. Feines, frisches Kirschenbouquet, fein floral unterstützt, parfümiert. Im Gaumen sehr eng, zeigt eine tolle Konzentraiton, wirkt noch etwas streng, was aber gleichzeitig sein versprechendes Potential untersützt beginnen (2014 - 2028)
Producer
Château Pavie Macquin
Planted amongst three Premiers Grands Crus Classés, Château Pavie-Macquin consists of a single piece of land on the noteworthy limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion. The 15-hectare vineyard is planted to a large portion of Merlot, with smaller parts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. By 1994, the Right Bank visionary, Nicholas Thienpoint took control of the estate. Today, the winery produces quality-conscious wines that are elegant, tightly wound and structured, noted by their unique mineralistic characteristics. Famed oenologist, Stéphane Derenoncourt joined the team in 1990, and has worked as consulting vintner at the château ever since. Together, Nicholas and Stéphane developed a high-quality viticulture procedure which has elevated the château to the prestigious rank of Premier Grand Cru Classé wine. With minimal handling in the cellar, the Grand Vin, Pavie-Macquin is an opulent structured red with well-integrated notes of oak and spiced fruits.
