Château Pavie Macquin 2023

Wineadvocate

Aromas of sweet raspberries, cherries and plums mingle with notions of licorice and creamy new oak, introducing the 2023 Pavie Macquin, a medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated wine with a deep core of fruit, tangy acids and powdery tannins. As higher density plantings on the plateau with superior vine genetics start to enter into production, and as the south of the property is restructured, this estate's tannins are becoming more refined, even if the very low pH of 3.35 still tends to foreground the wine's structure. - WK 04/2024

Vinous

The 2023 Pavie Macquin is one of the stars of the vintage. An exceptional, vibrant wine, Pavie Macquin dazzles from start to finish. Seamless tannins wrap around a core of inky red/purplish fruit, lavender, mint, spice and blood orange, all framed by bright, salivating acids. The transition toward higher-density vineyards and greater freshness is paying huge dividends. This is a stellar effort from the château and long-time consultant Stephane Derenoncourt, who has kept Pavie Macquin as one of just a handful of estates he personally follows these days. In a word: Brilliant! Tasted two times. - AG 04/2024

Beck

Pavie Macquin s'affiche en crescendo, pas à pas, en joignant de subtiles notes de cerises, de violettes et de calcaire ! La finesse annoncée par le bouquet est bien relayée par le palais. L'attaque, délicatement saline, souligne la fraîcheur. Le vin dispose de tannins précis, élégants et d'une structure acide affutée. Un Pavie Macquin subtil et caractériel ! - YB 05/2024
