Covering less than 200 hectares, Saint-Georges-Saint-Emilion is the smallest of all Bordeaux appellations. Château Macquin was founded by Albert Macquin in 1885, the first agronomic engineer to plant again after the phylloxera epidemic in Europe. It currently has 31 hectares of vineyards, predominantly planted with Merlot. The grapes are mechanically harvested, fermented in stainless steel and thermo-regulated vats, and aged in 1/3 in oak barrels over 12 months, using 25% new oak. Their resulting wines are powerful and generous.
This attractively perfumed wine with ripe tannins and rich black fruits is polished from partial wood aging. The 80% Merlot gives the wine a generous character that offers concentration and good potential. Drink 2025.
