Tasting the components of the '95 from barrel at this small estate on the St. Émilion plateau east of town was one of the highlights of my week in Bordeaux. The old-vines merlot in '95, which generally makes up 70% of Pavie-Macquin, is particularly impressive, with an uncanny creamy sweetness and great thrust. The cabernet franc, too, achieved full ripeness, coming in with grape sugars around 13 degrees. Only the cabernet sauvignon missed out on full ripeness, and this juice, which normally comprises 5% of the final blend, will probably go into the estate's second wine. A portion of the malo is done in barriques, and the lees are stirred twice a week during the month of the secondary fermentation. The final blend is made very late: the '94 had been assembled just two weeks before my visit.
