Today the Chateau is still owned by Macquin's descendants, and its vineyard has a prime location atop the plateau overlooking the limestone ledge of the Cote de Saint-Emilion. Chateau Pavie Macquin's high concentration of clay in its soil is ideal for producing generous and full-bodied Merlot dominated wines.
