Terroirs are the expression of a place, a witness to history.
Infinitely rich and varied, their complexity is expressed
through their biological, geological, topographical and climatic
characteristics.
Precious and
fragile, they are the greatest thing that nature offers us and they
cannot be imitated. Their quality is an irreplaceable ingredient
in the production of great wines.
To produce great wines in the image of a terroir: the idea is simple
but the practice requires patience and humility.
Nicolas
Thienpont attributes his success to a respect for the
traditions inherited from the past and an envy to innovate.
On
the occasion of the reclassification of the Saint Emilion chateaux
(in September 2006), Chateau Pavie Macquin was promoted to the
prestigious level of Premier Grand Cru Classé.
