Château Pavie Macquin St Emilion Grand Cru Premier Grand Cru Classé B 2017

Drunk at home over supper with friends, this gorgeous Pavie Macquin was more proof for me that the 2017s – particularly those on St Emilion’s clay limestone plateau – are tasting exceptional right now. It’s not a vintage with the kind of structure to really lay down for long ageing, but I thoroughly recommend enjoying the sappy blueberry and redcurrant fruits, saffran and salt-scrape of limestone with sculpted tannins. A definite contender for Christmas drinking.
