A blend of 80% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon from the prestigious Château Pavie Macquin. The 2017 vintage is described the critic James Suckling as follows, "A mouth-filling wine with supple and complete tannins that are caressing and engaging. Fascinating aromas and flavors of blackberries, iodine and violets. Extremely long and beautiful. Wait until 2024." Sold in magnificent large format.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Pavie Macquin comes charging out of the glass with exuberant scents of warm black cherries, blackberry pie and wild blueberry coulis plus hints of menthol, licorice, candied violets and charcuterie. Medium-bodied, the palate is an exercise in precision and poise, featuring a beautiful frame of wonderfully ripe, very fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing very long and multilayered. Simply stunning! The blend here is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. It was aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, 70% new.Lisa Perrotti-Brown16th March 2020

Drunk at home over supper with friends, this gorgeous Pavie Macquin was more proof for me that the 2017s - particularly those on St Emilion's clay limestone plateau - are tasting exceptional right now. It's not a vintage with the kind of structure to really lay down for long ageing, but I thoroughly recommend enjoying the sappy blueberry and redcurrant fruits, saffran and salt-scrape of limestone with sculpted tannins. A definite contender for Christmas drinking.Jane Anson7th December 2023

The 2017 Pavie-Macquin possesses tremendous fruit density, but it also comes across as raw and not fully formed. Then again, the 2017 is in cement undergoing fining, which is always the most difficult stage in which to taste a young wine. Antonio Galloni1st May 2020
