Bouquet Iron and deep black fruit on the nose, with a lift and a fresher note that lends itself to the fresher tones of the vintage |
|
Flavour The palate is rich and chalky, a full, mouthcoating structure of ripe tannins carries a ripe core of blue and black fruit. There is clear pedigree here, but the smoky, dense nature of this wine will need significant time to unfurl in the bottle. Very long on the finish, great structure. |
95/96 Points James Suckling
Pavie: a “terroir” of exception…
Today, Château Pavie is an estate with 37 hectares of undivided vineyards with exceptional terroir that benefits from extraordinary sun exposure: due south.
A magnificent Saint Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé that impressed us with its power and balance.

Grape: 52% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon
Château Pavie has diverse terroirs:
– Terroir typical of the Saint-Emilion limestone plateau composed of clay-limestone soil on an asteriated limestone subsoil. Located at an altitude of approximately 85 meters above the Dordogne River.
– Terroir called « milieu de côte » (middle of the slope) located approximately 55 meters above the Dordogne and composed of very fine brown limestone
Viticulture
Many plots have been re-planted. The vines are trained high to increase the leaf canopy. Pruned to six spurs for old vines and two for young ones, green harvesting leaf thinning, as well picking and sorting by hand.
Winemaking
The way Château Pavie is fermented depends on the vintage. It is kept on the skins for three weeks in 20 temperature-controlled wooden vats. Malolactic fermentation in barrel and the wine is aged, depending on the vintages in 70% to 100% new oak, for 18 – 32 months.
