Chateau Pavie Macquin,
For laying down,
A nose bursting with intense ripe and concentrated red fruits really captures your attention when tasting this wine. Poised, minerally and velvety, this has real definition and a juicy freshness which we didn't taste in all of the 2012s. This wine has seriously good potential, and is certainly one of our favourites from St Emilion this year.

Chateau Pavie Macquin,
For laying down,
This was our wine of the morning in St Emilion. With an extraordinary lavender-sage topnote to the nose and seriously ripe, concentrated plum and damson fruit on the palate, this was on a different level to anything we had tasted thus far. The tannins were so ripe they simply disappeared and the juicy fruit was counterbalanced by a freshness that we had not found in the majority of Merlot-based wines. The 2009 Pavie Macquin contains 85% Merlot but the 14% Cabernet Franc (and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon) is they key here, adding minerality, poise and phenomenal length.

Nicholas Thienpont has once again produced a range of delicious wines from the clutch of estates where he is in charge of the winemaking. Ch. Pavie Macquin displays a tight-knit kernel of explosively ripe fruit on the mid-palate, a silky texture and beautiful balance, with enticing aromas of ripe berry fruit.
Last year Nicolas managed to produce a wine of freshness and charm despite the high alcohol levels which prevailed on the Right Bank, and once again he has worked the oracle here. This has great finesse and very fine-grained tannins.

Richness combined with a sense of terroir has fast become Ch. Pavie Macquin’s trademark style and the 2008 is no exception. Plush fruit from the 85% Merlot is superbly balanced by refreshing acidity from the 14% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Nicolas Thienpont says that the dry weather after 10th September “saved the vintage” and he could well be right. What he omits to mention is that excellent viticultural decisions and superb winemaking skills are also responsible for creating a wonderful wine with layers of chocolaty complexity and a very rewarding finish. Bravo, Nicolas.

A soaring nose of ripe, almost exotic, creamy red fruit with a hint of new oak, this wine is concentrated but not pushed; it is supple, lush, velvety. This is a fabulous compliment to its brilliant 2009, with real definition on the finish that lasts two or three minutes! However, I think the 2010 takes the crown for me. A sensational Pavie Mac!

In a commune which probably has the greatest variation in quality in 2014, Ch. Pavie Macquin is one of the most precise wines I tasted. Expertly tailored by Nicholas Thienpont, this shows sweet strawberry fruit with a trace of lifted dark cherry without straying into the hard, nervy kirsch characters of so many of its peers. The finish is equally enjoyable, with a tangy crisp finish framed in a similarly neat, sculptured oak frame.

What a find. Magnificent concentration but being as far away from some of the more modern styles of wine making from this side of the river as you can get. Vibrantly fresh, racy and exciting with a spectacularly long finish.In my opinion the second best wine in St Emilion after the Great Ausone for this vintage. Do try the 2000 vintage to see the style and complexity at less than half the price while you wait for this beauty to come round.

Ch. Pavie Macquin, a St Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé (B), is a property that has hit form in the last 10 years and is now producing first-class wines. Ch. Pavie Macquin is located east of the village of St Emilion and its 15 hectares of vineyards are located on the Côte Pavie, adjacent to the vineyards of Pavie, Pavie-Decesse and Troplong-Mondot. Since 1990 Nicholas Thienpoint, of Vieux Château Certan fame, has been in charge of the property. A pioneer of the Right Bank, Nicolas Thienpoint first pushed the boundaries with organic then biodynamic winemaking in developing the property’s style, helped by his soon-to-be-famous maître de chai, Stéphane Derenoncourt, who joined the team in 1990 and still consults today. Pavie Macquin's wine is a blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
