Château Pavie Macquin: Saint-Émilion’s Premier Grand Cru Classé 'B'

Hailing from the revered limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, Château Pavie Macquin is a Premier Grand Cru Classé 'B' that exemplifies the finesse of Merlot-dominant Bordeaux. Under the expert guidance of Nicolas Thienpont, this wine achieves a rare balance of powerful concentration and refreshing minerality, making it a stellar investment and a superb centrepiece for any fine dining occasion.

Tasting Profile

• **Appearance:** Intense, deep ruby-garnet colour.
• **Bouquet:** Highly aromatic and deep, offering core notes of dark berry compote, black plum, and a signature savoury undertone of black truffle and damp earth, complemented by subtle, smoky oak.
• **Palate:** The wine is full and rich, yet defined by a backbone of fresh acidity and incredibly refined, 'chalky' tannins. The structure is built for the long haul, leading to a powerful, elegant, and exceptionally long finish. A true expression of its magnificent terroir.

Food Pairing & Service

A wine of this calibre deserves an elevated culinary match. Ideal serving temperature is 16-18°C. We strongly advise decanting for several hours before serving to fully unlock its potential, particularly with younger bottles.
