The nose presents aromas of black fruits and black olives. The tannins are full of finesse, perfectly integrated with a beautiful structure. Beautiful aromatic complexity with lots of freshness and concentration. Mineral notes on the palate too, due to the limestone.

Heritage in the vineyard

Domaine

Pavie Macquin, this eponymous château, found the key to its history thanks to the illustrious Albert Macquin (1852 -1911). In 1887, he bought Château La Serre, Peygenestou (5 ha), Pavie-Chapus (3.7 ha), Pavie-Pigasse (5.7 ha)… a total of around 26 hectares which made up Château Pavie-Macquin. The current owners of the château are his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, the Corre and Charpentier families. Following in their illustrious ancestor’s footsteps, they show a deep attachment to this admirable terroir.

Environmental practices

Viticulture that respects the life of the soil, an “organic” philosophy for maintaining the vines without being slaves to them, and controlled yields.
