95-97/100 Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate : “The 2017 Pavie Macquin is deep garnet-purple in color and opens with
flamboyant notes of warm black and red plums, black cherries and tilled
soil with delicate touches of cloves, star anise, red roses and forest floor.
Medium-bodied with a firm backbone of very finely grained, very ripe
tannins and tons of freshness, it has wonderfully elegant yet intense fruit
layers and a long, minerally finish. Just beautiful”
93-96/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous : “A sexy, racy wine, the 2017 Pavie Macquin is full of personality. A rush of sweet red cherry, plum, rose petal, mint and blood orange infuses this sumptuous, racy Saint-Émilion. A wine of striking purity and total class, Pavie Macquin dazzles. As always, Pavie Macquin is marked by stunning fruit purity, red fruit, soft contours and silky, voluptuous tannins. In 2017, the blend has a bit more Cabernet Franc than in the past, now that younger vineyards have come online”
94-95/100 James Suckling : “Very solid center palate of fruit and firm, silky tannins. Linear and bright with a focused and pretty finish. Full-bodied, tight and precise. Very clear and bright.”
