Pavie Macquin 2023 600cl

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.
