Description
2018 Château Pavie Premier Grand Cru Classé Saint-Emilion
The 2018 Pavie is a blend of 60% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine has a pH of 3.58 and an alcohol content of 14.48%. Very deep garnet-purple in color it bursts out of the glass with a fabulously expressive nose of crème de cassis, plum compote and blueberry preserves, leading to an impressive array of nuances, with notes of dark chocolate, camphor, licorice, rose petals, loam and mineral tin. The rich, full flavor offers layer upon layer of luscious black and blue fruit with lots of exotic spice and lovely floral and mineral notes, supported by firm, super soft tannins and remarkable tension, ending with great length and depth. This can only be Pavie. It makes for a tempting classy glass now, but patience will be rewarded if it's bottled for at least 5-7 years and then drinks it over the next 30 years.

About the Château Pavie . winery
The vineyard of Château Pavie is 42 hectares. It is a large whole, but contains different terroirs, each with its own microclimate. Château Pavie is often one of the last wineries to complete the harvest. They work responsibly: 70% of the vineyard is now treated organically, they strive for 100%.
Today Gerard Perse is the man in charge. A self-made man and millionaire from Paris. The son of a painter takes over a small grocery store in a suburb in 1976 and then achieves enormous success with franchise supermarkets for Champion (Carrefour). Until he only wants to be involved with wine. In 1998, after buying several other wineries, he bought Château Pavie. In the region, he is seen as a renunciation of Saint-Emilion wines due to the techniques he used, for example the early cutting of unripe bunches of grapes to limit production and increase quality. Considered an unheard of waste at the time, today almost everyone is doing it. The success of his wines has greatly enhanced his reputation. Not only Parker, but also other international wine critics give the highest scores. And wine with a story.

The 2018 Pavie is a blend of 60% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine has a 3.58 pH and 14.48% alcohol. Very deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts from the glass with a fabulously expressive nose of crème de cassis, baked plums and blueberry preserves, leading to an impressive array of nuances, featuring notions of dark chocolate, camphor, licorice, rose petals and fertile loam, plus hints of crushed rocks and iron ore. The rich, full-bodied palate offers layer upon layer of opulent black and blue fruits with loads of exotic spice sparks and pretty floral and mineral accents, supported by firm, super plush tannins and remarkable tension, finishing with epic length and depth. This could only be Pavie. It makes for a seductively stylish glass now, but patience will be rewarded if it is afforded 5-7 years in bottle, at least, then drink it over the next 30+ years.

April 2019 Week 4 - Bordeaux 2018, The Wine Advocate
The 2018 Pavie is composed of 60% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, harvested October 1-10 with yields of 38 hectoliters per hectare. The wine has a 3.58 pH and 14.48% alcohol. Very deep purple-black in color, the nose starts off quiet and stern, swiftly growing exponentially in the glass to reveal powerful plum preserves, fruitcake, coffee beans, smoked meats and black olives scents with emerging nuances of roses, hoisin, molten chocolate and licorice plus a waft of candied violets. WOW—the palate explodes with waves of black fruit preserves, exotic spices and savory chocolate, framed by very firm, super ripe, velvety tannins and an electric backbone of freshness, finishing with epic length and energy. Amazing, singular wine—it could only be Pavie.
