The 2003 Pavie was the infamous vintage that caused a kerfuffle upon release, a kerfuffle that will not retread. It now shows a little bricking on the rim with a dark core. The bouquet with cherry liqueur, honey, potpourri and licorice is not unattractive. Yes, perhaps a bit Italian in style. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins, cooked meat, clove, dried blood, red fruit, balsamic and white pepper, though it lacks some freshness on the finish. There's licorice on the aftertaste, candied and rounded, pleasant if missing some typicity. Tasted at the château. Neal Martin1st August 2023

A Decadent St-Emilion

Situated to the south-east of the town of St-Emilion, Pavis is the largest 1er Grand Cru Classé property in the commune with over 35 hectares of vines. The vineyards themselves are ideally situated on the south facing slopes of a limestone plateau for excellent exposure, ensuring optimal ripeness in the right conditions. Since the late 1990s, the Grand Vin has been a blend of 55% Merlot, 25% Cabernet France and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, fermented in wooden vats and aged in 100% new oak for 18 months. The wines are bottled unfiltered for added concentration and texture.

Pavie was purchased in 1998 by Gérard Perse who has, assisted by consultant oenologist Michel Rolland, pushed the wines towards a bolder, more concentrated style with a focus on concentrated fruit on the palate and an expressive nose.
