96/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux
Inky plum colour, a wine that I always love tasting, flinty gunsmoke reduction, full of charm and personality. Intense, concentrated, pumice stone and steel, a ton of lift and we are slap bang in full limestone character, with a creamy undertow. 30 hl/ha. 40% new oak, Nicolas Thienpont showcasing his skill.

The 2025 Pavie Macquin is a powerful, structured wine. In most vintages, Pavie Macquin is sensual and silky, but the 2025 is quite tannic in this tasting. Dark-fleshed fruit, chocolate, menthol, licorice, sage and lavender add to an impression of brooding density and pure power. Floral top notes lift the close. I can't wait to see how this ages. Tasted two times.
