Chateau Pavie Macquin 1er Grand Cru Classe B 2018

Pavie Macquin ligger i umiddelbar nærhed af Troplong Mondot på toppen af det rene kalkstensplateau. Den har været dyrket økologisk i mange år. Den nuværende superstjerne inden for ønologi i Saint Emilion, Stephane Derenoncourt, var tidligere vinmarkschef på Pavie Macquin og skabte sit første værk her. Terroiret består af kalksten med et ler/sandlag, ganske enestående. Direktøren Nicolas Thienpont har stået i spidsen i mange år, ligesom Larcisse Ducasse og Beausejour Duffau. Stephane Derenoncourt er stadig ønologisk konsulent. Altid mere kraftfuld, mere struktureret, mere kraftfuld end Larcisse Ducasse, men det er de forskellige terroirer. Larcisse Ducasse har denne utrolige røde frugtighed og finesse, ligesom sin nabo efter den, Bellefont-Belcier. Pavie Macquin går mere i retning af Troplong Mondot, som er den direkte nabo over den. Og alligevel er Pavie Macquin så utroligt meget finere, fordi holdet omkring Derenoncourt simpelthen ikke ønsker superekstrakter. Vinen er meget moden og viser hindbær, sorte og røde kirsebær, meget fin lakrids og mælkechokolade. Æterisk fin og alligevel struktureret, silkeblød tanninmasse, men utrolig fin på samme tid. Store sorte kirsebærsmage i munden, meget moden og alligevel med massive, men ultrafine tanniner, så silkeagtige, så polerede. Utrolig velsmagende og saftig med stor længde, mineraliteten giver god genlyd. Men vinen er langt fra noget overekstraheret, fra noget, der bare ligner Troplong Mondot. Det, vi har her, er utrolig finesse og silkeblød længde. Som det så ofte er tilfældet, er det bedre det godes fjende, så med Bellefont-Belcier og andre vil der helt sikkert være seriøse konkurrenter, men Pavie Macquin spiller også i denne liga.

Parker om: Chateau Pavie Macquin 1er Grand Cru Classe B

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! 97/100

Suckling om: Chateau Pavie Macquin 1er Grand Cru Classe B

This is a decadent and beautiful young wine with wild aromas and flavors of meat, wet earth and plums. Very complex. Full-bodied yet soft and very velvety. The tannins melt into the wine, as if they aren’t there. Extremely long finish. 78 per cent merlot, 20 per cent cabernet franc and two per cent cabernet sauvignon. 97-98/100

Decanter om: Chateau Pavie Macquin 1er Grand Cru Classe B

This is just so good. Not overly big, it has nuance, sapidity and grace, with space between the lines. It's not sacrificing its concentration but it gives you a chance to get onboard and accompany it along the way. I love the quality of the brambled blackberry and loganberry fruit here, and the touch of austerity that gives a welcome note of bitter chocolate to the finish. It has great tannic grip and there's no question that this will age well, but it's also extremely drinkable now. Tasted several times, and each occasion blew me away. My favourite vintage to date from this property. 98/100

Jane Anson om: Chateau Pavie Macquin 1er Grand Cru Classe B

One of the steepest driveways inSt Emilion immediately gives you a sense of how this vineyard is perched on the edge of the limestone plateau, with vines both on the plateau and clinging to the steep slopes where there is a slightlly thicker layer of clay over the bedrock. Both things combine to give a wine with a pleasingly slate-rough tingle alongside burstingly ripe damson and blackberries fruits, sun-sweetened and generous. Bitter chocolate shavings run throughout the palate, showing the precision of the winemaking from the Nicolas Thienpont team. I've been lucky enough to taste this wine several times even in the short three years since its arrival, and I'm looking forward to following it for many yearsto come. An excepional vintage at Pavie Maquin. 47hl/ha yield 98/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Pavie Macquin 1er Grand Cru Classe B

From a cooler, pure limestone terroir just over the hill from Château Pavie, the 2018 Château Pavie Macquin offers an incredible assortment of red and black fruits, cedary spice, white truffle, graphite, and beautiful minerality. Showing the cooler, complex, concentrated style of the vineyard, it's full-bodied and powerful on the palate, with no shortage of extract or tannins. The wine always has a healthy pH and needs bottle age to show at its best. A solid 7-8 years are warranted here, and it will keep for 2-3 decades. The 2018 is 78% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, representing 90% of the total production. I think this estate has been underrated in the market and it can still be found for reasonable prices. It ages beautifully and I doubt you could have too much in the cellar. 97-99/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Pavie Macquin 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Packed with very expressive boysenberry and red currant paste aromas and flavors, this is dense and fleshy in feel, but has the energy to easily carry it off. Lots of chalky cut on the long finish. Rock-solid. 95-98/100
