2016 Chateau Pavie Macquin, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 750ml

Arriving Fall 2019 "This is a really fantastic PM! The licorice, fresh mushroom, sous bois and stone character is so exciting. It?s full and very layered with exceptional depth and length. Compressed and focused. Pure silk. "

Arriving Fall 2019 "A wine of total finesse, the 2016 Pavie Macquin is also one of the most riveting wines of the vintage. Silky and supple on the palate, with no hard edges and exceptional balance, it takes over all the senses and never lets up. The flavors are bright, precise and beautifully nuanced. Above all else, Pavie Macquin is a wine of elegance, and that is exactly what comes through in the 2016. The wine plays in the dimensions of bright, floral-infused, red-toned fruits, silky tannins and length more than pure power or breadth. The 2016 is a stunningly beautiful bottle of wine and one of the finest reds of the year - it's as simple as that. In 2016, Nicolas Thienpont opted for long macerations of around four weeks in a combination of cement and oak."
