Chateau Pavie Macquin 2018
2018 brought out the best in the plateau terroirs. The power of the clay, the mineral tension of the limestone, and aromatic freshness all reached a peak in the contrasted weather conditions of the vintage.
Blend: 78% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon.
98 Points - Wine SpectatorĀ Ā Ā Packed with very expressive boysenberry and red currant paste aromas and flavors, this is dense and fleshy in feel, but has the energy to easily carry it off. Lots of chalky cut on the long finish. Rock-solid.
97 Points - Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateĀ Ā Ā The 2018 Pavie Macquin is deep garnet-purple colored and a little closed to begin, slowly revealing subtle notions of dark chocolate, candied violets and rose hip tea over a core of plum preserves, blueberry compote and cherry coulis plus wafts of woodsmoke and crushed stones. Full-bodied, the palate has a seriously impressive structure of ripe, firm, velvety tannins and bold freshness carrying off all that rich black fruit, finishing very long and mineral laced.
