PRESSE

98-99 Punkte James Suckling
"This is a twitchy, lively red with brambleberry, black olive and a real sense of limestone. The tannins are very well integrated. Lots of energy. Medium body. Extremely long. Very cool, fine wine from this estate in this year. 3.35 pH. 14.2% alcohol. 82% merlot, 17% cabernet franc and 1% cabernet sauvignon. Best ever?"

93-95 Punkte Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (William Kelley)
"Aromas of sweet raspberries, cherries and plums mingle with notions of licorice and creamy new oak, introducing the 2023 Pavie Macquin, a medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated wine with a deep core of fruit, tangy acids and powdery tannins. As higher density plantings on the plateau with superior vine genetics start to enter into production, and as the south of the property is restructured, this estate's tannins are becoming more refined, even if the very low pH of 3.35 still tends to foreground the wine's structure."

94 Punkte Falstaff (Peter Moser)
"Dunkles Rubingranat, tiefer Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Lakritze und kandierte Veilchen, feine Holzwürze, reife rote Kirschen, intensives Bukett. Saftig, rotbeerig, zeigt eine betonte Frische, reife Tannine, mineralisch, dezente Süße, ein sehr charmanter Stil, ein animierender Speisenbegleiter mit Reifepotenzial."

94-96 Punkte Vinous (Neal Martin)
"The 2023 Pavie Macquin was picked from September 18, finishing with the Cabernet Sauvignon on October 3, cropped at 48hl/ha. The nose offers a mélange of red and black fruit with light wilted rose petal and iris scents. The Cabernet Franc (17% of the blend) imparts loamy aromas. The palate is very svelte and creamy on the entry, but there is real depth and freshness here. Harmonious and poised, it fans out beautifully on the finish. This is more elegant and complex than the 2022, and my score reflects this. Superb."
