The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A Premier Grand Cru Classé, or Classified First Growth, the Château Pavie-Macquin sits at the very top of the Bordeaux hierarchy. As Pavie and Troplong-Mondot’s immediate neighbor, it is inspired by biodynamic viticulture and produces a series of fantastic wines expressing the best of its terroir. Modern, classy, and elegant bottles that honor their winemaker’s talents. Here is one of Bordeaux Right Bank’s most exemplary Château.
Wine The 2018 Red Saint-Emilion Les Chênes de Macquin is no exception to the chateau's style, which has forged an endless series of excellent vintages for nearly 30 years. Produced with the same exacting standards as the grand vin, it takes on its precious assets - finesse, elegance, precision - in a softer, more immediate style. At this price, it is a bargain, an exclusive offer reserved for members of Vente à la Propriété.
Vinification Hand harvested. Vinification by plot in wooden and concrete vats. Aging on fine lees, a first racking is done after 6 to 10 months and a second one one year later. Aged for 12 months in barrels that have already contained one wine.
