"The 1st vintage made in the new underground cellar, this wine is simply delicious, with great style and immense potential! ~ Guide Hachette "
"This 2022 shows, once again, the full potential of this elite cru set on the limestone plateau, which here derives its third Favorite in four editions after the 2020 and 2019 vintages. Skilfully crafted, it displays all the attributes of a great Saint-Emilion, with intense aromas of black fruit nuanced by delicate floral notes, and a pure, full-bodied palate with discreet oak, underlined by lovely freshness and perfectly refined tannins. Very long, dynamic, with a rare elegance, it is simply delicious, with great style and immense potential. Irresistible. (Guide Hachette 2026) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

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.

About the wine:
The first vintage to be produced in the estate's new underground winery, this 2022 once again demonstrates the full potential of this elite cru set on the limestone plateau, which here picks up its third Favorite in four editions after the 2020 and 2019 vintages. Skilfully crafted, it displays all the attributes of a great Saint-Emilion, with intense aromas of black fruit nuanced by delicate floral notes, and a pure, full-bodied palate with discreet oak, underlined by lovely freshness and perfectly refined tannins. Very long, dynamic, with a rare elegance, it is simply delicious, with great style and immense potential. Irresistible. 2032-2045

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:
Blackcurrant, blue fruit, crushed stone, chocolate and intense minerality emerge from Château Pavie Macquin 2022. More robust and incredibly concentrated, it offers a lively, vibrant palate, ripe, structured and present tannins, and a sumptuous finish. Made from the usual blend of 80% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, this captivating, powerful 2022 vintage is a wine for laying down par excellence. Keep it carefully for a good ten years if possible, and it will age for 40 years. 2035 - 2075

About the wine:
Pavie Macquin's bouquet immediately reveals ambitions dedicated to subtlety, freshness and precision. Add to this complexity, as the olfactory character alternates between maturity, freshness, depth and sweet spices, with notes of mint, raspberry, blackberry and cocoa bean respectively. On the palate, the wine doesn't necessarily bet on density, preferring to emphasize its subtlety, precision and freshness. Supported by powerful tannins, the wine boasts serene vigor and brilliance. A deep, sapid and persistent Pavie Macquin. 2028-2052
