Chateau Pavie Macquin 2009

This wine from Saint-Émilion demonstrates the characteristics of a winery that values ​​traditional vine-growing techniques. The 2009 vintage is known for its ripe fruit and full structure, making Pavie Macquin an impressive representative of the Right Bank. The winery's distinctive feature lies in its artisanal craftsmanship and the terroir, with its chalky soils and gravelly deposits, which lends the wine a clear, complex character. The result is an elegant, powerful balance of fruit, depth, and length.

In the glass, the wine presents a deep ruby ​​red. The nose opens with intense aromas of black cherry, plum, and dark chocolate, accompanied by hints of tobacco, pepper, and a fine mineral note. On the palate, it presents itself with silky tannins, ripe fruit, and an opulent, well-integrated structure, supported by a lingering spice. The wine combines power with finesse, yet remains balanced and harmonious.

Critics from leading magazines such as Falstaff, Robert Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Wine Spectator praise the depth, complexity, and elegant balance of this vintage. Food pairing: Excellent with beef fillet, grilled duck, or aged cheeses such as Comté—with a dark chocolate as a dessert option for an elegant finish.
