CHÂTEAU PAVIE MACQUIN

2006 Grand Cru Classé Saint Emilion

Colour Red
Origin France, Bordeaux
Sub-district Saint Emilion & Satellites
Village Saint Emilion
Classification Grand Cru Classé
ABV 14%

Restrained and yet generous, showing contrasts in texture and in architecture. Still knitted down with chalky tannins that give resistance on the palate, and here you feel cooler blue fruits that reflect the longer growing season, along with cigar box, saffron, chalk, juicy lemongrass and mandarin. Part of the cool vintages series within this vertical. 80% new oak. Drinking range: 2022 - 2042 Rating: 93 Jane Anson, Decanter (Jan 2022)

The 2006 Pavie-Macquin is a powerful, burly wine, especially in its feel. Game, smoke, leather, dark spice, chocolate and licorice add to a feeling of virile intensity. Disease pressure at the end of a cool growing season led to a compact harvest in 2006. There is good depth, but less in the way of charm and sensuality. I imagine the 2006 will always retain its somewhat rustic personality. Drinking range: 2022 - 2036 Rating: 93 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (May 2020)

The 2006 Château Pavie Macquin has a ripe, sensual bouquet with copious kirsch and blueberry scents, fine tension and poise, a faint whiff of boot polish in the background. The palate is very elegant on the entry, pure and supple in the mouth, succulent with vivid black cherry and dark plum notes. It is that keen line of acidity cutting through the fruit that takes this Saint Emilion to a higher level and it comes highly recommended. Tasted February 2016.

(13.7% alcohol; 3.29 pH): Bright, deep red. An initial note of reduction blows off to reveal delicate aromas of floral red fruits, cinnamon and minerals. Bright and juicy on entry, then a little lean in the middle, with high acidity nicely framing clean red fruit and mineral flavors; very calcaire-influenced in its energy and tension. Finishes clean and long, with silky tannins, but I found myself wishing for a little more generosity and flesh. About 15% to 20% of the harvest was eliminated due to rot; that hard work really paid off, as this wine's aroma and flavor profile is beautifully pure.
