The Wine
The 2019 Château Pavie Macquin is a striking and dynamic expression of Saint-Émilion terroir, showcasing the estate’s hallmark combination of structure, and opulence. Perched on the limestone plateau adjacent to Pavie and Troplong Mondot, Pavie Macquin consistently delivers wines of both depth and precision—and 2019 is a vintage that truly exemplifies its pedigree.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Profound and aromatic, revealing layers of blackberry, plum, crushed violets, and graphite.
Palate: Full-bodied and plush, with dark fruit, black cherry, and sweet spice, carried by refined tannins and vivid acidity. The limestone influence adds a chalky minerality and lift that balances its richness.
Finish: Long, focused, and energetic, leaving impressions of cocoa, herbs, and flint, underpinned by a remarkable tension and purity.
