Château Pavie Macquin 1er Grand Cru Classé B 2020

Das ist der absolute Superstar des Jahrgangs 2020 am rechten Ufer: Pavie Macquin war auch bei der 2020er Präsentation auf der Vinexpo Paris im Februar 2023 die Sensation. Das ist das Werk von Nicolas Thienpont und Stéphane Dérénoncourt (Achtung auch auf Larcis-Ducasse!). Zu diesem Preis gibt es nichts Besseres in Bordeaux!

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "The 2020 Pavie Macquin has an opaque purple-black color, exploding from the glass with an intoxicating perfume of violets, Ceylon tea, forest floor and eucalyptus over a core of blackberry preserves, Morello cherries and stewed plum, plus wafts of crushed rocks and unsmoked cigars. The medium to full-bodied palate shimmers with energetic red and black fruit layers and loads of floral and earthy sparks, framed by exquisitely ripe, finely grained tannins and amazing tension, finishing with a long-lingering perfume of black fruits. A real head-turner!" (96-98)

Antonio Galloni: "The 2020 Pavie Macquin is one of the most exotic Saint-Émilions of the year. Inky red fruit, lavender, rose petal, mint, plum and kirsch all open in the glass. Succulent and racy to the core, the 2020 possesses mind-blowing intensity yet remains fresh, vibrant and full of energy. It is one of the most alluring and complete recent vintages I can remember tasting. In a word: dazzling." (95-98)
