Château Pavie-Macquin

The Pavie-Macquin castle is the first part of its name to the Côte Pavie, in the heart of the Saint-Emilion. The second part is a tribute to Albert Macquin to whom we owe the use of grafted plant that saved the vineyard from phylloxera. The current owners are his grandchildren, Benoit and Bruno Corre and Marie and Jacques Charpentier, all animated by the same desire to continue the work of their ancestors.

They entrusted the management of the domain to Nicolas Thienpont, a maker of wines of the right bank who officiates in many areas such as Puygueraud castles, La Prade or Larcis-Ducasse.

The 15 hectares of vineyards are located in the heart of the appellation, near Pavia and Trottevieille on 9 different soils where prevail clay and limestone, with a dominant Merlot and the two Cabernets to complete.

In the vineyards - biodynamic cultivation - as in the winery, the field team wants creative not a wine but a midwife terroir. Nicolas Thienpont speaks of true Socratic wine. It seems that births are beautiful because the area was placed in the Premiers Grands Crus in 2006.
