St. Georges St. Emilion
Chateau Macquin
VARIETAL: 10% Cabernet Franc 10% Cabernet Sauvignon 80% Merlot
VINYARD: François-Albert Macquin took over the 22 ha-Maisonneuve estate in 1885. It has been named Chàteau Macquin after the property has been extended with 24 ha. vineyard coming from the sale, in 1887, of Chàteau St-Georges. The same year he purchased Pavie, Puygenestou and Chàteau La Serre, which were unified to become Chàteau Pavie-Macquin. François-Albert was the first agricultural engineer to replant the Bordeaux devastated by phylloxera vineyard, particularly in Saint-Emilion. He died in 1911, leaving as an inheritance to his two young daughters, 85 acres of vines. In 1948, the properties were shared between Marie-Louise, who inherited of PavieMacquin and Anclrée, the current owner's mother, Denis, of Chàteau Macquin. It is in 1978 that Denis Corre-Macquin took over the property, after the 'reign' of his grandfather and parents, on this beautiful property.
WINEMAKING: Classical vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats, covered in wood and thermo-regulated concrete vats. Ageing for 12 to 18 months in 250l barrels, with 30% renew each year.
TASTING NOTES: A beautiful and brilliant cherry red color. Scents of very ripe black fruits with mocha and roasted notes. In the mouth, a powerful wine, with a nice fruit-forward flavor and a pleasant tannic structure.
