Description
Avec 37 hectares sur la Côte Pavie, les sols sont composés de calcaire, d’argiles denses et profondes, le pied de côte est lui principalement argilo-sableux et caillouteux. Il y a ensuite des vieilles vignes de plus de 45 ans cultivées avec soin et comprenant 60% de Merlot, 30% de Cabernet Franc et 10% de Cabernet Sauvignon. Élevage entre 18 et 32 mois en fûts renouvelés entre 70 et 100% en bois neuf.
Pavie confirme incontestablement sa place dans les Premiers A avec un 2019 particulièrement raffiné et consistant. Son nez ne cesse d’évoluer dans le verre avec une classe folle portée par de fruits noirs juteux et de boisé subtil : cassis fraîche, vanille de Madagascar, cacao, tabac blond et boite à cigare. En bouche, la matière se veut puissante dans un raffinement tannique exceptionnel.
Suggestion gourmande
Côte de veau de Bazas à la truffe, mousseline de panais.
Avis des Experts
Bettane & Desseauve
James Suckling
"Lots of blackberry and grilled meat with earth and spice. Some smoky undertones, too. Blackcurrants. Complex. Full-bodied with round, juicy tannins, yet they turn extremely fine and very linear and go on for minutes. Great length. A blend of 50% merlot, 32% cabernet franc and 18% cabernet sauvignon. Try after 2027, but already a joy to drink."
The Wine Advocate
"The 2019 Pavie Macquin has turned out very well indeed, unwinding in the glass with aromas of blackcurrants, cherries, burning embers, black truffle and licorice, framed by a deft framing of new oak that's more discreet than was the case even a few vintages back. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's deep and layered, with a strikingly vibrant core of fruit, powdery, chalky tannins and a long, penetrating, youthfully firm finish. Tasted alongside older vintages, it's clear that the Thienpont team have eased off extraction, which allows the quality of fruit that this fantastic vineyard produces to express itself all the more completely, delivering the finest Pavie Macquin since 1998."
The Wine Cellar Insider
"Almost opaque in color, the complex nose, with its barbecue, flower, crushed rock, cherry liqueur, blackberry, plum, smoke and espresso is inviting. Concentrated, lush, full-bodied, mouth-filling and palate-staining, yet with all that going on, nothing is too much here, everything is in balance. The opulent, velvet drenched fruit really holds it own in the finish. 96-98 Pts"
Vinous
"The 2019 Pavie is incredibly elegant right out of the gate. Aromas of crushed rose petal, cedar, mint and sweet pipe tobacco are immediately alluring. The 2019 is sensual and inviting, with no excess weight and fabulous overall balance. Blood orange, red/purplish fruit, cinnamon and mint develop effortlessly. Time in the glass brings out Cabernet Franc aromatics and structure, leading to a feeling of vertical intensity that is hugely appealing."
