Château Pavie Macquin  (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
95
A really nice showing for this wine. It is just coming out of its deep sleep. Lush, silky, polished and long. The waves of licorice, espresso, black cherry, dark plum, smoke and background notes of flowers gets the wine off to a good start. Long and lingering, with a nice touch f crushed stone in the finish, even though this is still young, with air, you can pop a cork, else 3-5 years will add a lot here..

Earth, stone, black raspberry and cherry, medium/full bodied with more acidity and freshness in the plummy personality than previous tastings showed. I’d let it sleep for 7-10 years.

When to Drink Chateau Pavie Macquin, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Pavie Macquin is much better with at least 10-12 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 2-3 hours or more.

This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Pavie Macquin offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 10-30 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau Pavie Macquin with Wine and Food Pairings

Chateau Pavie Macquin is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.

Chateau Pavie Macquin is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Pavie Macquin is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
