"It is a clear-cut, ripe grape with an almost "Mediterranean" character ~ Guide Hachette "
"From the very first nose, the Pavie-Macquin signature is apparent, plunging, anchored and inked; a full-bodied, heady perfume haloed by a touch of menthol. The palate is dense, full-bodied, savory and powerful, with a more pronounced acidic structure than in recent vintages, a slightly more refined mid-palate, but a beautiful chalky texture. The whole is racy, with a touch of roughness in the touch of the tannins, but it is above all mineral, tracing, singular". (Terre de vins 2022) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2018 guide) 4*Stars (High-quality producers, the glories of the French vineyard)
About the domain :
An immediate neighbor of Troplong-Mondot, Pavie-Macquin has just become premier grand cru classé. Stéphane Derenoncourt and Nicolas Thienpont know how to express the best of the terroir while giving it a modern form, adapted to the tastes of today's consumers. Full-bodied and fleshy, the wine of Pavie-Macquin gains in finesse and harmony with each new vintage, with the inimitable truffle flavor and mineral tension typical of the Côte Pavie rim.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (guide 2025) 2*Stars (Outstanding wine)
About the wine:
This Grand Cru, Favorite in the previous vintage, is obvious in this 2021 vintage, with grapes of fine ripeness and an almost "Mediterranean" character, with scents of licorice, black olive and spices, complemented by the invigorating minty touch of Cabernet Franc. On the palate, the wine is of great dimension, offering both finesse and amplitude around refined tannins and a freshness with chalky tones that perfectly outline the framework of the wine. Long ageing potential. 2029-2040

Domaine rated (2018 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
A new, sober reception room, all in glass, allows tasting with a breathtaking view over the village of Saint-Emilion. Pavie-Macquin retained its rank of premier grand cru classé in the latest Saint-Emilion classification in 2012. A fitting reward for the remarkable work carried out at the château by its manager, Nicolas Thienpont, and his advisor Stéphane Derenoncourt. Since the late 1990s, this duo has transformed the estate, drawing heavily on (non-certified) biodynamic methods. A series of fantastic wines, combining magnificent fruit intensity and great depth on the palate, has crowned this groundbreaking work. These wines differ from their Pavie and Pavie Decesse cousins in that they are both more restrained and more supple, and their juice is deep but still very lively. Pavie-Macquin is a sure bet among wine-lovers, and has not struck a false note in recent years.

About the wine:
Precise, floral and fruity, Pavie Macquin's bouquet reveals floral and chalky nuances. Certainly more slender than usual, it is nonetheless fresh and subtle. A filigree, salivating, persistent wine perfectly carried by its acid structure, which plebiscites its vigor in common with the tannins. Saline, persistent finish. 2026-2046
Vert de Vin
Wine rated (2024 guide) 96/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About the wine:
The nose is fruity, fresh and elegant, offering concentration (with mastery and precision) and precision. Notes of pulpy blackberry, Sichuan pepper and, more lightly, blueberry are combined with hints of star anise, fresh Morello cherry, hints of roasted-fresh berries, discreet hints of cardamom, lily and a subtle hint of sens de la place (local biotop), toast and vanilla (very discreet). The palate is beautifully fresh, elegant, gourmand, juicy, pulpy, racy and delicate, offering airy power, fullness, depth and a lovely brilliance. Just right and masterful. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, bright/fresh blue berries and, more lightly, juicy Morello cherry, combined with hints of vanilla, toast, nutmeg and blueberry, as well as fine hints of infusion and discreet chocolate. The tannins are supple, elegant and racy. Beautiful balance of freshness and acidity. Excellent persistence.
