Description
This vast terroir has been brought back to life by Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt. The vineyard of Chateau Pavie Macquin, planted in deep clay and limestone soils, is situated next to Chateau Pavie and Chateau Troplong Mondot. Pavie-Macquin is not far from Gerard's little treasure, Pavie-Decesse. Chateau Pavie Macquin is a very rich and aromatic wine that is made biodynamically. Since 1990, the vineyard here has been cultivated biodynamically, which has certainly not harmed the quality of the wine.
The Pavie Macquin is garnet purple in colour in the glass. On the nose the Pavie Macquin has black cherries, blackberries and blueberries followed by roses, cedar and cigars plus a hint of wild thyme. On the palate the wine is medium to full-bodied, again with cherries and berries framed by firm but beautifully ripe tannins and a very fine finish. This is a classic Saint-Émilion from a great vintage. This is a 1.5 litre magnum.
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will often also receive a nice discount . You will see your discount immediately when you choose 'Pick up' on the checkout page. We are located in Dordrecht almost next to the A16 with plenty of parking. Click here for our address.

The 2019 Pavie Macquin has turned out very well indeed, unwinding in the glass with aromas of blackcurrants, cherries, burning embers, black truffle and licorice, framed by a deft framing of new oak that's more discreet than was the case even a few vintages back. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's deep and layered, with a strikingly vibrant core of fruit, powdery, chalky tannins and a long, penetrating, youthfully firm finish. Tasted alongside older vintages, it's clear that the Thienpont team have eased off extraction, which allows the quality of fruit that this fantastic vineyard produces to express itself all the more completely, delivering the finest Pavie Macquin since 1998.
This 15-hectare vineyard, perched on the edge of Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau above Château Pavie, is a labor of love for Nicolas Thienpont and Stéphane Derenoncourt. It was here, in the 1990s, that they pioneered biodynamic farming, then considered eccentric. And it's here that their viticultural ideas have been put into practice: cover crops, high canopies and higher planting densities are all the order of the day; and the vineyards are gradually being restructured, Cabernet Franc displacing Cabernet Sauvignon and some Merlot (it will augment to around 25% of the blend in the years to come), and Merlot being repositioned to more appropriate locations, generally higher up the slope. In the cellar, winemaking displays more refinement than a decade ago—when pushing the boundaries, one sometimes exceeds them. There's less saignée (tank bleeds) these days, though I wonder if—given the quality of the site and its farming—any are required at all? And extraction is perceptibly gentler, oak better integrated. The result is a perfect storm in the great 2019 vintage, which has delivered the best Pavie-Macquin, to my palate, since the benchmark 1998 that showed the world just what this site could achieve. I can't wait to taste the vintages to come.

Really classy red, offering blueberries, minerals, salt, limestone and light fresh herbs. It’s full-bodied, but so refined. Fine layers of fruit and tannins. It’s like millefeuille. The 2018 is more exuberant, but I love the elegance and structure here. Subtle and complex. 78% merlot, 20% cabernet franc and 2% cabernet sauvignon.

The 2019 Pavie Macquin feels very tight on the nose at first and certainly from my sample bottle, I allowed it 15-20 minutes to open. Eventually it reveals very intense scents of black cherries, cassis and crushed violet, touches of blood orange in the background. The palate has a satin-like texture, almost Vosne-Romanée-like, with extraordinarily pure blue and black fruit. Seamless! There is fine tension on the finish with impressive persistence. This is a seriously good Pavie-Macquin from Nicolas Thienpont and his team.
