Chateau Pavie Macquin
Chateau Pavie Macquin
Chateau Pavie Macquin is located in the St. Emilion appellation of Bordeaux. It is situated on a plateau next to the hill of Mondot and on the edge of the Fongaban rift. The soils of the vineyard are all clay-chalk which suits the Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes well. Since 1990 Nicholas Thienpoint, of Vieux Chateau Certan fame, has been in charge of the vineyards. He manages the vineyards on organic lines and the estate no longer uses fertilisers, herbicides or other chemicals.
