Château Pavie Macquin 2018, Saint-Émilion 1° Grand Cru Classé - Parker 97
(€176.00 L)
A stunning wine with aromas of Black Forest cake and Morello cherries, plush tannins and a highly fragrant finish.
Winemaker and Vineyard: The Pavie Macquin vineyard is characterized by its plateau location, next to the Mondot mound and bordering the Fongaban fault. Due to its dominant position, it ranges between 100 meters in altitude on the edge of the mound and 75 meters on the edge of the plateau. Surrounded by three Premier Grand Crus Classés, it is therefore in a particularly qualitative sector.
Tasting: The 2018 Pavie Macquin is a blend of 78% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it slowly, sensuously unfurls to reveal a gorgeous perfume of Black Forest cake, Morello cherries, baked plums and violets, with nuances of licorice, Indian spices and fertile loam. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has achingly plush tannins and fantastic freshness framing the spicy black fruit and mineral layers, finishing long and so, so fragrant. Wow—just stunning!
