2024 Château Pavie-Macquin Saint Emilion

Precision, finesse and energy from limestone Château Pavie Macquin

In this vintage, the estate opted resolutely for refinement over muscle, and the result is a wine with a remarkably energetic freshness, fine tannins and beautiful depth.

A characterful terroir, expertly expressed

A blend of 84% Merlot , 15% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon , harvested from October 3 to 8, 2024, this wine exudes the character of its terroir: chalky soils on asteria limestone , worked with an eye for tradition and biodiversity. The grapes are vinified per plot in concrete vats , with gravity maceration, followed by maturation on fine lees for 16 to 20 months in barriques (50% new wood).

Aromatic complexity and fine structure

From the first impression of the nose, this wine shows its class: notes of blueberries, sour plums, black cherries and floral accents of iris and violets, subtly framed by graphite, sandalwood and spices. In the mouth it is at the same time juicy and tense , with a core of pure fruit, fresh acidity and chalky tannins that provide grip without harshness. The whole exudes calm and control. A wine that subtly lets its power speak.

A wine with a story and a long future: Pavie Macquin 2024

The Château Pavie Macquin 2024 knows like no other how to find the balance between depth and lightness, structure and suppleness. The choice to harvest everything in October paid off: this wine combines the natural tension of the year with an impressive aromatic precision. The alcohol content of 13% underlines its freshness, while the pH of 3.35 ensures lively tension.

Already seductive in its youthful energy, this wine will only really begin to blossom from 2029 onwards . Its delicate balance and structured freshness give it the potential to age well beyond 2045. A true ambassador of the Saint-Émilion limestone plateau, and one of the quiet stars of the 2024 vintage.
