Wines have been made at Château Macquin since 1885, when their cellar was originally developed by François-Albert Macquin, the first person to re-plant vines in Saint-Émilion following the 19th century phylloxera outbreak. Sitting 89 metres above sea level, Saint-Georges enjoys one of the best elevations on the right bank, giving the wines freshness and concentration. The south-facing vines, some as old as 60 years, are planted on a combination of clay and limestone soils.
Château Macquin is a blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, A third of the wine is aged in 25% new French oak for one year, giving the wine structure and complexity without being overpowering. The resulting intense aromas of ripe raspberry and blackcurrant, are coupled with spicy notes of cinnamon and pepper, complemented by lifted acidity and a lingering finish.
