Chateau Pavie Macquin St Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classe

Description

Chateau Pavie Macquin St Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classe is located in the Right Bank of the Bordeaux wine growing region in the commune of Saint-Émilion in the department Gironde. In 2006 the estate was promoted from Grand Cru Classe to Premiers grands crus classés B in the Saint-Émilion wine classification.

The Pavie Macquin vineyard is characterized by its location on a plateau, next to Mondot hill and on the edge of the Fongaban fault. 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. The 15 hectares of vineyards at Chateau Pavie Macquin are planted with  84% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon.
