jamessuckling.com, February 2018

So much violet and lilac aromas to this with blackberry and blueberry character, too. Full-bodied and delivering limestone, chalk and lavender on the palate. Great structure, too. Needs four or five years to soften...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, May 2018

Lush, sexy, plush and polished, the wine has all the glycerine needed to coat the glass and your palate. There is purity in the fruits and silky tannins in the finish that make this just as exciting to feel as it does to...

Wine Enthusiast, September 2019

This is a beautifully crafted, structured wine. From its ripe black-currant fruits through the acidity and tense tannins, to the full, generous aftertaste, the wine impresses. It has great fruit, balanced acidity and a...

The Wine Independent, November 2022

Pavie Macquin 2015 is deep garnet in color and needs some coaxing to unveil emerging scents of crushed blackberries, warm plums and black raspberries, leading to hints of rosehip tea, licorice, incense, and espresso, with...

Wine Spectator, January 2018

Ripe, pure and expressive, with a beautiful panoply of loganberry, plum and red currant preserve flavors that meld seamlessly with anise and singed apple wood details and a subtle chalky spine. A bright floral...

Decanter, December 2017

Tight and firm, this needs time to open and soften but there is no doubting the quality of the ingredients. Young St-Émilion can be tough to taste in great vintages, as they often present an unrelenting wall of fruit, but...

janeanson.com, February 2025

A consistently excellent wine, this is fully in its drinking window, showcasing fleshy raspberry and redcurrant fruit, sage and saffron, juicy as ever, but not quite the salt-scraping tension that you find in 2016 or in...

jebdunnuck.com, November 2017

Notes of cassis, toasted spice, toasty oak, and crushed flowers emerge from the 2015 Château Pavie Macquin, and it’s a rockin’ effort that marries elegance with full-bodied power and structure. With fine, fine tannin...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2018

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Pavie Macquin bursts forth from the glass with profound notions of plum preserves, fruit cake, Indian spices and chargrilled meat with touches of black soil, mocha, cedar...

Vinous, June 2025

The 2015 Pavie-Macquin has a warm and inviting bouquet featuring plush red berry fruit, fireside hearth and light espresso scents. This is mature and forward, with perhaps just a soupçon of VA. The palate is medium-bodied...
