Château Pavie Macquin 2005 is a full-bodied Merlot-based red wine from the St-Emilion appellation of Bordeaux. Château Pavie Macquin is a prestigious Premier Grand Cru Classe B estate located in Saint Emilion. Under the guidance of the formidable winemaking consultancy duo Stephane Derenoncourt and Nicolas Thienpont, Pavie Macquin has emerged as one of the leading Right Bank properties of recent years. Thienpont introduced organic and then biodynamic winemaking in the vineyards, a focus on which has contributed greatly to the tension and concentration of the wines. "Pavie Macquin produced a prodigious effort from St.-Emilion in 2005. Its crushed, chalky rock minerality, massive body, and high tannin make for a wine to forget for another decade. Super-loaded, concentrated and powerful, this wine should turn out great, but patience will be required. The blackberry and cassis fruit are there in abundance, but so is a massive structure." Robert Parker, 2015
Red
The 2005 Pavie Macquin opens with a burst of sweet red cherry/red plum fruit. Cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, mint, spicecake and dried flowers add layers of nuance. Even with all of its luscious fruit, the tannins remain pretty imposing. The 2005 needs a good bit of aeration to be at its best. I don't find 2005 to be an especially distinguished vintage for Pavie Macquin.
