Lush, sexy, plush and polished, the wine has all the glycerine needed to coat the glass and your palate. There is purity in the fruits and silky tannins in the finish that make this just as exciting to feel as it does to taste. One of the best vintage produced here, this should age for at least 20-25 years or longer!

Loads of secondary notes of smoke, wet earth and forest floor compliment the sweet, dark red, earthy, plum and cherry fruits. Concentrated, full bodied, fresh, long and intense, there is length, sweetness of fruit and complexity. The finish offers a touch of jam, dark red berries, espresso and stone, with soft, lushly textured tannins that really linger.

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.
