Chateau Pavie Macquin Saint Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classe 2005 750ml is a benchmark Bordeaux from one of the finest Right Bank estates. Founded in the late 19th century by Albert Macquin, who pioneered grafting techniques to save Bordeaux vineyards from phylloxera, the estate is celebrated today for its terroir-driven, age-worthy wines.

The 2005 vintage is widely recognized as one of the greatest Bordeaux years in modern history, producing wines of extraordinary structure, concentration, and balance. Crafted primarily from Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine delivers intense depth and remarkable complexity.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, showcasing rich fruit, layered minerality, and velvety tannins. The long, lingering finish reflects the limestone plateau terroir that defines Château Pavie Macquin’s identity.

Perfect alongside roasted lamb, beef, or game, this wine has the pedigree and structure to age gracefully for decades, while offering exceptional enjoyment today.
