Château Pavie-Decesse is a Saint-Émilion property covering 3.65 hectares under vine. The estate produces a single wine, which is made predominantly from Merlot and a small proportion of Cabernet Franc. The wine is fermented in new oak barrels for up to 24 months with racking every 3 months. Final blending takes place just before bottling, without fining or filtering. This release is from the outstanding 2010 vintage, which produced wines with high tannins and high acidity, promising exceptional ageing potential.

Vinous
(15% alcohol): Saturated dark ruby. High-toned aromas of cassis, black raspberry, bitter chocolate and crushed-rock minerality. Layered and powerful on the palate, but with highly concentrated cassis, black raspberry and dark chocolate flavors energized by pungent chalky minerality and strong acidity. One feels the 15% alcohol in the wine's sheer size and chewy texture but the impressively long finish shows more tangy energy than heat. Needs five or six years of patience, but this comes across as considerably less tanninc and forbidding than the Pavie.Stephen Tanzer1st July 2013
