Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red in colour, this wine has intense aromas of ripe raspberry and blackcurrant on the nose, along with spicy notes of cinnamon and pepper. The palate is full-bodied with concentrated flavours of cassis, raspberry and tobacco with a lifted acidity. Silky tannins linger on the long, persistent finish.

About the Winery

Château Macquin

Overlooking the picturesque commune of Saint-Emilion, France, nestles the esteemed Château Macquin winery. Steeped in an impressive lineage of vine cultivation that dates back as far as 1885, it is famed for producing traditional yet refined Bordeaux wines that evoke the uniqueness of the region.

The renowned winery got its name from the visionary Albert Macquin, the pioneering viticulturist regarded as the father of grafting. His innovative methods saved France's vineyards from phylloxera, a plight that almost wiped out the country's vineyards in the late 19th century. Today, the Château Macquin winery continues to uphold its founder's ethos — producing supremely fine wines while demonstrating respect for the environment and tradition.

Boasting a generous estate of 30 hectares, the Macquin vineyard is comprised of densely planted vines predominantly of Merlot grape variety.

The intriguing part is that these grapes are meticulously picked by hand, ensuring only the ripest are chosen to develop their exquisite lineage of wines.

It is of no surprise that their Grand Cru, with its vivacious and sophisticated blend, has been bestowed with numerous accolades. Each sip carries the essence meticulously derived from Macquin's uniquely treated terroir, inviting sommeliers and wine connoisseurs to an unrivalled tasting experience,

Château Macquin is a winery that excels in every aspect, from the nurturing of its vines to crafting an array of enchanting wines.
