2024, Château Pavie Macquin, SAINT-ÉMILION, Grand Cru

Last year EP $106.00-

Bordeaux Blend: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon (1%).

Stéphane Derenoncourt and Nicolas Thienpont produce this impressively concentrated wine from vines that are situated between Pavie and Troplong Mondot.

The 2024 Pavie Macquin is positively gorgeous. Silky, layered and voluptuous, the 2024 is so impressive right out of the gate. Plush contours wrap around a core of purplish fruit, lavender, liquorice, spice, menthol and chocolate. All the signatures of this site come through loud and clear. Savoury and floral notes supported by clean veins of salinity extend the persistent finish. Pavie Macquin shows what was possible in 2024. Tasted three times. 2034-2054

Up on the limestone plateau of St Emilion, the whole game in 2024 has been how to handle the austerity without rendering things too tight. Here they have got the balance right - delicate, sappy, drawn out, vivid blackberry and cassis fruits with hidden density, nothing overt but plenty of power and grip. Harvesting entirely in October, from 3 to 8, Stéphane Derenoncourt consultant with Nicolas Thienpont.

The 2024 Pavie Macquin has an impressive bouquet for the vintage, quite composed and delineated with brambly red fruit, sous-bois and light rose petal scents. The palate is medium-bodied and nicely chiselled compared to its peers, with pliant tannins and a fresh, saline finish.This is a success for 2024. 2028 - 2048
