Château Pavie Macquin

What Château Pavie Macquin does

Château Pavie Macquin is a privately held French winery (legal entity SCEA Château Pavie Macquin) headquartered in Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux. It operates a single ~26-hectare estate of limestone-clay vineyard on the appellation's plateau, adjacent to three other Premier Grands Crus Classés (Pavie, Troplong Mondot, Trottevieille), and was elevated to Premier Grand Cru Classé in the 2006 Saint-Émilion classification, confirmed again in 2012.

The estate produces two wines: a Merlot-dominant grand vin (Château Pavie Macquin), blended with Cabernet Franc and small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, and a second wine, Les Chênes de Macquin. Viticulture follows organic principles with emphasis on soil life and biodiversity, and winemaking is built around whole-grape vinification, gentle extraction via punching down (pigeage), long macerations, plot-by-plot harvest and aging, and aging on fine lees. New plantations use higher densities and an internal massal selection for Cabernet Franc in the warmest limestone-confirmed plots.

Commercially, the estate sells through the traditional Bordeaux distribution stack: négociants and wine merchants globally, the annual en primeur (wine futures) campaign, and direct contact sales to wine professionals and collectors. The company is family-owned by the Corre and Charpentier families, descendants of founder Albert Macquin (1852-1911), and has been managed by gérant Nicolas Thienpont since late 1994 with consultant Stéphane Derenoncourt (present since 1990). The customer base consists of fine-wine collectors, restaurant cellar programs, and wine investors; no DTC e-commerce or digital sales channel is disclosed.
