Description

France / Bordeaux / Saint-Émilion

Before the first vines were planted on the "Pavie Hill" in Saint-Émilion, Pavie peaches grew there, which gave the vineyard its name. Château Pavie was established in the 19th century and, after several changes of ownership, was acquired by Gérard Perse in 1998. He invested large sums in the now run-down winery. A quarter of the plots were replanted, the cellar was modernised, and additional plots were purchased. In 2012, the winery was rewarded for its quality offensive and awarded "Premier Grand Cru Classé A".

Château Pavie

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 reach back to antiquity, when the Romans planted the first vineyards in this region.

The estate itself experienced a period of prosperity in the 19th century, when it gained recognition under the leadership of Ferdinand Bouffard. Bouffard recognised the immense potential of the terroir and introduced modern viticultural practices to steadily improve the quality of the wines.

In 1998, entrepreneur Gérard Perse acquired the château and invested heavily in modernising the estate and cellar facilities, further enhancing the quality of the wines.

A quarter of the parcels were replanted, the winery was modernised and additional parcels were acquired. 70% of the vineyard is farmed using sustainable methods. In 2012, the estate was rewarded for its quality drive and classified as ‘Premier Grand Cru Classé A’.
