Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker

The 2015 Pavie still shows some of its oak at the start, which gives way to a gorgeous nose of crushed black cherries, blackberries and mulberries, as well as hints of dried roses, tea, cigars and garrigue. The rich, concentrated, full-bodied palate offers incredible structure of very firm, very ripe tannins and a racy line of freshness that cuts through the dense layers of aromatic black fruits and spicy notes , finishing with epic length .

winery

Château Pavie Before the first vines were planted on the “Pavie Hill” in Saint-Émilion, Pavie peaches grew there, giving the vineyard its name. The origins of Château Pavie date back to ancient times, when the Romans planted the first vineyards in this region. However, the estate itself experienced a heyday in the 19th century, when it gained prominence under the leadership of Ferdinand Bouffard. Bouffard recognized the immense potential of the terroir and used modern viticultural practices to constantly improve the quality of the wines. In 1998, the entrepreneur Gérard Perse acquired the château and invested heavily in modernizing the vineyard and cellar facilities, which further improved the quality of the wines. A quarter of the plots were replanted, the cellar modernized and further plots purchased. 70% of the vineyard is cultivated using sustainable methods. In 2012, the winery was rewarded for its quality offensive and was awarded “Premier Grand Cru Classé A”.
