Pavie Macquin
Chateau Pavie Macquin is named after Albert Macquin, the venerated hero credited with solving the phylloxera epidemic. The winemaking and consulting team at Pavie Macquin is dynamic and effortlessly modern. In 2006 they were elevated to premier grand cru status; a tile which is justly deserved after their dramatic improvement in quality and style through the 1990's. With the winemakers clearly pursuing a more classic, drinkable style, their wine is more reserved than neighbours Pavie and Pavie-Decessee; a welcome aspect in an age of dense, over-extracted wines.

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (100)
The 2020 Pavie Macquin is sensational. Rich, dark and explosive, the 2020 balances the natural richness that is such a signature of the estate with a level of energy and vibrancy I have not seen here in the recent past. The result is a towering, imposing Pavie Macquin that hugely delivers. In this vintage, regisseur Nicolas Thienpont did not use the Cabernet Sauvignon, so the blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, with the Franc lending aromatic presence, energy and depth. What a total knock out!$491.00 -

Blackcurrants, blue fruits, crushed stone, chocolate, and massive amounts of minerality all emerge from the 2022 Château Pavie Macquin, a more burly, incredibly concentrated Pavie Macquin that has a lively, vibrant mouthfeel, ripe, building, substantial tannins, and a gorgeous finish. Based on the normal 80% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, it's a riveting, powerful 2022 that's built for the cellar. Hide bottles for a solid decade if you can, and it will have 40 years of overall longevity.$1,160.00 -
