CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2022 Pavie-Macquin was picked 14 to 27 September at 31hL/ha. Black cherries, creme de cassis, crushed violets on the nose. This is the most opulent amongst Nicolas Thienpont's portfolio, though I find just a touch more terroir expression on the Larcis-Ducasse. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, satin-like in texture. A little more tertiary in its second half, with white pepper liberally-sprinkled toward the finish. Quite understated in style, I suspect it will spread its wings during its elevage.
