The 42 hectare St. Emilion vineyard of Château Pavie is planted of 60% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Château Pavie is often one of the last Saint Emilion estates to finish harvesting. Pavie is also the largest of all the Premier Cru Classe A vineyards at 42 hectares. The vineyards are farmed using sustainable and vineyard management techniques. Part of the goal at Château Pavie is to produce wine from ripe grapes and low yields. 70% of the vineyard is farmed using organic methods. The goal is to reach 100% in the few years.
What the critics say:
"The 2021 Château Pavie was one of the few wines in the vintage that got a big "wow" in my notes. Based on 52% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, it's a full-bodied, dense, powerful, beautiful 2021 with classic Pavie darker, richer fruits, notes of spicy oak, chocolate, and violets, ripe velvety tannins, and a great finish. It's not at the 2019 or 2020 level, but don't hold that against it. This is pure brilliance in 2021 and one of the wines of the vintage."
"Deep black and blue fruit with cocoa and tar character. Compact and full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins that are very textured and interwoven into the wine. This has a lot of structure to go a long way. Yet it remains in balance with finesse. 52% merlot, 30% cabernet franc and 18% cabernet sauvignon."
