Chateau Pavie 2014 - Original Wood Case - Sold by 12

Product Info

Château Pavie has earned a great reputation in Bordeaux. Acquired by Gerard Perse in 1998, it underwent an intense transformation, which also resulted in Michel Rolland being invited to act as a consultant. In 2012, its excellence was recognized with its promotion to Premier Grand Cru Classé A of Saint-Émilion.

Since then, Château Pavie's grand vin has positioned itself as one of the great references in the region, recognized by critics with successive 100 points, such as those obtained in the 2009 vintage by Robert Parker and Jeb Dunnuck.

"Deep garnet in color, the 2009 Pavie comes effortlessly and deeply from the glass with aromas of baked plums, spice cake, sandalwood, Black Forest cake, and blueberry pie, followed by an underlying scented current of potpourri, unsmoked cigars, and bouquet garni. Full-bodied, rich, and smooth, it is pure seduction on the palate, offering a firm but velvety texture and plenty of freshness to frame the opulent fruit, ending very long and mineral." 100 pts Wine Advocate

"Similar in style to the 2005 blockbuster, the 2009 Pavie is another magical and legendary wine from the Perse family that ranks at the top of my scale. Made from 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in 80% new French oak, its saturated purple color is followed by a huge bouquet of black currants, burnt earth, chocolate, graphite, and graphite pencil, with an incredible sense of minerality. Deep, full-bodied, and remarkably concentrated and intense, it still remains perfectly balanced and light, with constructive but sweet tannins. It is still a baby, but it is a magical drink today, given its opulence, purity, and balance." 100 pts Jeb Dunnuck
