Château PAVIE MACQUIN
1er grand cru classé
- 2021
- Saint-Émilion
An ultra-refined great wine, with a mineral tension that is out of the ordinary in Bordeaux, the fruit of the great terroir of the Côte Pavie, but also of the complicity of Mr Nicolas Thienpont and Mr Stéphane Derenoncourt since 1994.
The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 93/100 “Much less dense than in 2020, it reveals itself with vigor and frank tension on the palate. The ageing remains measured and distinguished. This vintage of freshness will come into its own over the next few years."
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2023): 94+/100 “The 2021 Pavie Macquin is deep, bold and luscious, but within the smaller-scaled style of the year. It is an intensely aromatic, savory Gran Vin that emphasizes finesse more than sheer power. I admire its understated elegance more than anything else. Bright acids drive through a core of black cherry fruit, mocha, spice, new leather and licorice. This beautifully balanced, harmonious Saint-Emilion captures the essence of the vintage in style. Tasted two times.”

The 2014 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2024): 96/100 “The palate is medium-bodied, with grainy tannins, modest depth, flavors of red fruit, orange peel and a touch of Moroccan spice. Perhaps a little riper than expected, I'd personally let it age over the next decade. It's one of those rare Saint-Émilions that invites you back for more.”
