Château Pavie Macquin 1990

Château Pavie Macquin 1990 is a beautifully matured Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé that captures the warmth and balance of this acclaimed vintage. Built around Merlot with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon adding structure and nuance, it offers the kind of depth, elegance and history that collectors look for in classic Bordeaux.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep garnet color with mature ruby tones at the rim, reflecting more than three decades of careful evolution. The bouquet is layered and expressive, with aromas of ripe dark berries, dried fruit, cedar, leather and tobacco, lifted by subtle spice and earthy undertones. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and refined, with soft tannins, integrated acidity and a rounded texture that supports its concentrated core. As it continues to open, tertiary notes of forest floor, mocha and sweet spice emerge, leading to a long, elegant finish. Drink now for full complexity, though it should remain enjoyable over the next few years.

Production
Produced in Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, this wine comes from a terroir known for its limestone-rich soils and ideal conditions for Merlot, which forms the backbone of the blend. The 1990 vintage benefited from excellent growing conditions, allowing the grapes to reach full ripeness and balance before harvest. Vinification was aimed at preserving concentration and structure, resulting in a wine with impressive depth and graceful aging.

Food & Serving
This is a superb match for roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, game dishes and rich mushroom-based recipes. Serve at around 16-18°C and decant gently for 30-60 minutes if the bottle is still showing some reduction after long cellar aging.
