Château Pavie-Macquin Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé 2003
37% OFF RETAIL!
From the challenging heatwave vintage, this Pavie-Macquin stands out for its structure and freshness. Dark fruit, roasted herbs, earth, and mineral tones show depth without excess heaviness. Now mature, it offers a savory, characterful Right Bank profile.
About The Producer
Pavie Macquin is named after a man who was mostly responsible for solving the phyllloxera epidemic in France, Albert Macquin. He was the first to graft his vines onto American rootstocks which spurred the process throughout Bordeaux and France. The Pavie Macquin terroir is pristine, marked by its location on the infamous limestone plateau, next to Mondot hill. One contiguous parcel of land, it borders Troplong-Mondot to the east and Chateau Pavie to the south. With prime terroir and the skills of Stephane Derenoncourt in the cellar, it is no wonder this wine is as good as it is.
