Château Pavie Macquin  (St. Émilion Grand Cru)

The strong nose, with its flowers, mint, licorice, cocoa, plum, wet earth and cherries is a treat. Still youthful, the wine is rich, concentrated, opulent, luscious and intense. But it does need more time before it really begins to show its all. Wait 5 more years and enjoy it for 2-3 decades after that.

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.
