"This well-situated estate, with a high percentage of old vines and uncompromising biodynamic viticultural practices, represents a wine that could be called the Chateau Lafleur of St.-Emilion. These are powerful, backward, tannic wines that should be purchased by those with the discipline, patience, and the requisite youthfulness . . . . A dark ruby/purple color is followed by a kirsch, earthy, truffle-scented nose. This [is a] jammy, full-bodied, powerful, backward 1993 . . . . Atypically rich, brawny, and muscular for a 1993, this Pavie-Macquin possesses 20-25 years of cellaring potential. How many readers possess the discipline to wait years for old style, impressively-endowed wine to attain full maturity?"

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
