18 Rene Gabriel
70 % Merlot, 20 % Cabernet Franc, 10 % Cabernet Sauvignon. 28 hl./ha. Sehr dunkles Granat-Purpur, aufhellender Rand. Verrücktes Himbeeren- und Walderdbeerenboquet, rotes Cassis, Vanillenoten, frisch gebackenes Brot und dominikanischer Tabak. Im Gaumen sehr stoffig, recht feine, aber doch präsente Tannine, ein genialer, verschwenderischer Fruchtcocktail im Finale. Gehört sicherlich zu den aufregendsten Weinen dieses heterogenen Jahrganges. Ein Ferrari unter den St. Emilions! Kann auf 19/20 steigen. warten (2017 - 2030)

Along with Lafite Rothschild, Ausone, and l?Eglise Clinet, Pavie is one of the wines of the vintage. An inky/purple color is accompanied by notes of creme de cassis, kirsch, graphite, and toast. A massive wine for the vintage, the 2007 Pavie is very full-bodied with extraordinary intensity, power, and richness. Its structure and tannin suggest 2-4 years of cellaring is required, and it should evolve for 25 years thereafter ,an unusually long aging curve for most 2007s. Yields were 25 hectoliters per hectare, and the wine is a classic blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The natural alcohol level came in at 14%.

Sweet blackberry and mulberry aromas lead to a full body, with chewy tannins and berry, tobacco and wet earth aftertaste. Will come around nicely with age. Best after 2013. 7,335 cases made. ?JS
Producer
Château Pavie
Pavie stands for the small vine-grown peaches that previously occupied this Saint-Émilion plot of land prior to the 4th century. Today, Château Pavie carries its heritage in its name, and stands as the largest Premier Grand Cru Classé in the entire appellation. With 37-hectares of continuous vines and ample amounts of sunshine, this remarkable south-facing lot can be classified into three specific terroirs. The newly redesigned estate by Alberto Pinto, has a large glass façade that offers an outstanding view of the hillside vineyard, some even claim it’s "the most beautiful spot in Saint-Émilion.” Purchased by Gérard Perse in 1998, owner of the Pavie-Decesse and Monbousquet châteaux, Pavie is now one of the greatest new wave producers. Pavie, like the other Perse wines have developed into late-harvested and highly extracted reds, balanced by their dichotomy of opulence and delicacy. Promoted to the Premier Grand Cru Classé A status in 2012, the Grand Vin, Pavie is an exemplarily Perse wine, vinified with a modern approach, the result is rich, concentrated and high in quality.
