Château Pavie Macquin 2016, Saint-Émilion 1° Grand Cru Classé - Parker 96
(€174.67 L)
A wine of great finesse, featuring gregarious black cherry and warm blackberry aromas, backed by exquisitely ripe tannins and a long finish.
Winemaker and Vineyard: The Pavie Macquin vineyard is characterized by its plateau location, next to the Mondot mound and on the edge of the Fongaban fault. Due to its dominant position, it ranges between an altitude of 100 meters on the mound's edge and 75 meters on the plateau's rim. Surrounded by three First Classified Great Growths, it is therefore situated in a particularly high-quality sector.
Tasting: Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Pavie Macquin charges out of the glass with gregarious black cherries, warm blackberries and wild blueberries scents followed up by loads of red roses, baking spices, cedar chest and unsmoked cigars sparks plus a waft of wild thyme. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is an exercise in poise, revealing layer upon layer of cherries and berries flavors and tons of savory nuances, framed by firm yet exquisitely ripe tannins, finishing very long. robertparker.com, 30.11.2018
Service: Serve at room temperature (16-18°C) to accompany a hanger steak with Armagnac sauce.
