Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Saint-Emilion, France, stands the magnificent Chateau Pavie Macquin. This iconic castle, steeped in history, owes its name to the visionary and renowned winemaker, Albert Macquin. His passion for winemaking and relentless pursuit of excellence laid the foundation for the success of this esteemed estate.
In 1994, Maryse Barre handed over the reins to Nicolas Thienpont, who was joined by the talented Stéphane Derenoncourt. Together, they embarked on a journey to elevate the already exceptional wines of Pavie Macquin to new heights. With their combined expertise and dedication, they refined the personality of the wines and implemented a viticulture of excellence. This resulted in the prestigious Premier Grand Cru Classé status in 2006, a well-deserved recognition that was reaffirmed in 2012.
But the story of Chateau Pavie Macquin dates back even further, to 1887 when Albert Macquin acquired the neighboring Château La Serre, Peygenestou, Pavie-Chapus, and Pavie-Pigasse, which together formed the Chateau Pavie-Macquin as we know it today. With a total of 26 hectares of vineyards, the estate boasts a diverse terroir that is carefully tended to by the dedicated team.
From its rich history to its unwavering pursuit of excellence, Chateau Pavie Macquin is a true reflection of its namesake, Albert Macquin. With each sip of their exceptional wines, you can taste the passion, hard work, and dedication that goes into crafting these remarkable vintages. Visit the castle, tour the vineyards, and experience the magic of Chateau Pavie Macquin for yourself.
