The 2019 Les Chênes de Macquin is a terrific second wine. Creamy and racy in the glass, Les Chênes captures all the personality of the Grand Vin, naturally in miniature. Rose petal, lavender, spice and mint are nicely pushed forward. The 2019 is just impeccable, not to mention a real delight to taste.

Château Pavie Macquin owes its name to the grand-father of the current owners Albert Macquin (1852-1911), who used plant grafting as a way to save the Saint-Emilion vineyard, destroyed by phylloxera. Since 1994, Nicolas Thienpont has been managing this family property of 15 hectares which was promoted « Premier Grand Cru Classé » in September 2006. The vineyard of Pavie Macquin is situated on the summit of the Saint-Emilion plateau. Thanks to its commanding position, its height ranges from 100 meters above sea level next to the hill, to 75 meters on the edge of the plateau. The soils are all limestone-clay and express different aspects of the terroir through the vine, depending on the strength of the clay, and above all on their proximity to the asteriated limestone layer at a depth of between 20cm and 150cm. Pavie Macquin is the combination of power and minerality.
Bordeaux Mixed Case 2026
The Bordeaux Mixed 12: A Masterclass in Modern Claret
Bordeaux and Britain share a deep history, functioning as partners in wine ever since Eleanor of Aquitaine married Henry II in 1152. While the region can sometimes seem dense and intimidating due to its bureaucracy and shifting classifications, the true focus should always remain strictly on what is inside the bottle.
This 12-bottle collection serves as a masterclass in modern Claret, leaning on some of the most prestigious names in the region to demystify its diverse styles.
Our team tastes through hundreds of bottles annually to ensure only the exceptional make it to your cellar. This case offers a friendly, accessible tour of the main grape varieties, exploring everything from a crisp white to deep, mature reds across both the Left Bank and the Right Bank.
The Wines Included in the Mixed Case:
4x 2024 CHATEAU BEAUMONT Blanc Les Pierrieres, Blaye: This is a remarkably clever Sauvignon Blanc. Harvested in August, the white grapes are uniquely fermented in brand-new oak barrels originally destined for red wines. This process creates a dense texture with ripe citrus and tropical aromas, all supported by a gentle oak spice.
2x 2020 LE PESSAC-LEOGNAN du Domaine de Chevalier: Crafted by Olivier Bernard, this wine undergoes painstaking triple sorting, which includes berry-by-berry optical sorting to guarantee absolute purity. It is an incredibly elegant blend of Cabernet and Merlot. You can expect a medium-bodied profile with fine-grained tannins, earthy minerality, and a gently smoky finish.
2x 2019 LES CHENES DE MACQUIN, Saint Emilion: This is the terrific second wine of the Premier Grand Cru Classe estate Pavie Macquin. It is a juicy, vibrant Merlot with a creamy and racy character. The palate pushes forward beautiful notes of rose petal, lavender, and mint.
2x 2019 CHATEAU L ARGENTEYRE Cru Bourgeois, Medoc: A deeply coloured, succulent Left Bank red hand-crafted by the Reich brothers. It delivers rich fruit, vigour, and fine spice.
2x 2020 L ETOILE, Lalande de Pomerol: A savvy alternative to Pomerol from the Right Bank. It is fresh, forward, and soft, loaded with notes of cherries, chocolate-coated plums, and wet earth.
Priced at £280, this phenomenal collection sails comfortably past our £150 threshold, qualifying your order for complimentary delivery.
