Château Pavie Macquin
Saint Emilion - 1er Grand Cru Classé B
Description
This Saint-Emilion wine is created from a large amount of Merlot, a fleshy, enticing and delicious variety that is so typical of Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Starting its life on soils rich in clay and limestone, it is associated with plenty of character, juice, mineral freshness, tautness and depth. Rounded off by adding a little Cabernet Franc, it will perfectly suit ageing and accompanying refined dishes that are not devoid of character.
“James Suckling” : This is a twitchy, lively red with brambleberry, black olive and a real sense of limestone. The tannins are very well integrated. Lots of energy. Medium body. Extremely long. Very cool, fine wine from this estate in this year. 3.35 pH. 14.2% alcohol. 82% merlot, 17% cabernet franc and 1% cabernet sauvignon. Best ever?
