2018: Robert Parker 97/100 – James Suckling 97/100 – Wine Spectator 96/100 – Jancis Robinson 17/20 – Antonio Galloni 95/100 – Decanter 98/100
Great vintage for Bordeaux, 2018 will have allowed, by its climatology and its phase of maturation under ideal conditions in September and October, the development of exceptional red wines. Château Pavie Macquin is no exception to the rule and delivers a very fine success.
Blend of the 2018 vintage: 78% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon
The color is a beautiful dark purple, almost black, tinged with beautiful purple highlights.
The nose is intense and of great finesse, offering notes of jammy black fruits, violet, truffle and pepper, with a hint of cocoa.
In the mouth, the attack is supple, the wine evolves very quickly on a velvety and dense texture, supported by a finely structured tannic framework. The notes of red and black fruits give it a very nice freshness all along, and it blossoms on a tasty, long and precise finish. What a great vintage for Pavie Macquin.
