Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 94-96
This site can deliver such powerful, tannic wines that I was left especially impressed by the supple, harmonious style of the 2022 Pavie Macquin. Unwinding in the glass with notions of sweet wild berries, rose petals, spices, violets, bay leaf and new oak, it’s full-bodied, deep and vibrant, with a layered core of fruit, bright acids and a long, penetrating finish, where powdery structuring tannins make themselves felt but without any asperity. Of course, this remains a deep and powerful wine, but Nicolas Thienpont and his team continue their shift toward more judicious extraction, with excellent results.

Beau rouge sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez intense, au fruite mur et subtil. Charnu en entree de bouche, tres savoureux au milieu, avec un toucher minutieux, le vin evolue profond en finale, avec du gout et des tannins gras. Bonne longueur. Assemblage : 80 % merlot, 19 % cabernet franc, 1 % cabernet sauvignon. Degre d’alcool : 14 5. Rendement : 31 hl/ha.
Anticipated maturity: 2035-2060
