CHÂTEAU PAVIE MACQUIN
Château Pavie Macquin is an estate located in Saint-Émilion, a small town in the Bordeaux region, which has always been known and renowned for producing some of the most famous and appreciated French red wines in the world.
The Château takes its name from an important figure, Albert Macquin (1852-1911), grandfather of the current owners. Albert was one of the first winegrowers in Saint-Émilion to use American rootstock to save the vineyards devastated by the epidemic that destroyed much of European viticulture over a century ago, phylloxera. Today, Albert's grandchildren, Benoit, Bruno and Marie, are at the helm of the estate. Since 1994, Nicolas Thienpont has been responsible for managing the vineyards and cellars.
Château Pavie Macquin is beautifully situated on the highest plateau of the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, with clay-limestone soil grafted onto limestone rock and starfish, which allows for excellent water drainage, an agronomically important factor for the health and proper development of the vine. The 15 hectares of vineyards are planted with the typical varieties of this area of France: Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. In recent years, the vineyards have undergone a conversion to biodynamic agriculture; balance and excellence are the objectives that Château Pavie Macquin pursues in the creation of each label, characteristics that can only be achieved through care and respect for the land and nature.
Château Pavie Macquin produces just under thirty thousand bottles each year, including the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, which embodies the passion and dedication of all the generations of the family who have worked this land for centuries, and a second wine, “Les Chenes”, a red wine that is easy to drink without hiding its decisive and never submissive character.
