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, with cherries and berries again framed by firm but beautifully ripe tannins and a very fine finish. This is a classic Saint-Émilion from a great vintage.
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 2020 Pavie Macquin is performing well in bottle, unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet raspberries and cherries mingled with notions of orange zest, violets, spices, bay leaf and vine smoke. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's deep and fleshy, its ample core of fruit framed by youthfully firm, chalky tannins. As usual, it's more structured than Larcis Ducasse, and it remains a bottling that will demand some patience, even if the Thienpont team have subtly eased off on extraction over the last few vintages, a welcome trend that I hope will be pushed further.
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. The vineyards are gradually being restructured, with 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? Extraction is already perceptibly gentler, and oak is better integrated.

I have never had a Pavie Macquin like this. It’s so fresh and vivid with black cherry, currant and raspberry character, as well as citrus. Some mineral and spice. Salt, too. The palate is full and linear with a verticality that takes you so deep and long. Endless. Transparent. Drink after 2028.

From: Bordeaux 2020: Saving the Best for Last (Feb 2023)
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!
