This shows limestone, plum, citrus and mineral character with a savory, almost saline twist and touches of oyster shells, dried meat and oranges. Really quintessential and full of chalky fruit that unwinds and dissolves through the finish. So much character and personality. Best Pavie-Macquin ever? Precise in every way. 84% merlot, 15% cabernet franc and 1% cabernet sauvignon. Drinkable now, but better from 2027. (James Suckling, 99 Points)
