2018 Château Pavie-Macquin Saint-Emilion red

The Pavie Macquin vineyard is characterised by its location on a plateau, next to the Mondot hill and on the edge of the Fongaban fault. Thanks to its commanding position, its height ranges from 100 metres above sea level next to the hill to 75 metres on the edge of the plateau. On a single holding, it borders Troplong Mondot to the east and Château Pavie to the south, and overlooks Trottevieille to the north. They are therefore located in a region of particular quality, surrounded by three Premiers Grands Crus Classés.

The Château is now managed by Albert Macquin's grandchildren as well as his own sons, the Corre and Charpentier families. In continuing the tradition of their illustrious ancestors, they demonstrate a deep attachment to this wonderful terroir.

The 2018 Pavie Macquin is a blend with about 78% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium to deep garnet in colour, it unfurls slowly, revealing a stunning perfume of cherries, dried plums and violets, with nuances of liquorice, Indian spices and clay. Medium to full-bodied, on the palate it shows round tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing spicy and mineral.
