The 2016 Pavie a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Very deep purple-black in color, it needs a little coaxing to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal a fragrant perfume of violets, chocolate-covered cherries, crushed blueberries and eucalyptus over a core of preserved plums, kirsch, black raspberries and crème de cassis plus hints of licorice and chargrilled meat. Full-bodied and built like a brick house, it has a solid foundation of firm, super ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness interknit with the black fruit preserves and minerally layers, finishing very long and very decadent. Superb!<br/><br/>

This is a rather showy--and captivating--display of fruit, with waves of lush cassis, raspberry and plum reduction flavors flowing through with authority and grace while a swath of chalky minerality stays deeply buried throughout. Toasty, glistening with vanilla and apple wood notes, but the fruit has the oak bridle easily in hand. One of the Right Bank showstoppers of the vintage. Best from 2024 through 2040. 6,667 cases made. <br/>

The enveloping amarena-cherry fruit clothes the huge tannin structure, but these are really fine tannins and, together with the acidity, they give the wine great vitality. Needs quite some time in bottle to resolve the tannins, but the balance is certainly there. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. Château Quintus vertical tasting. SP.
Produttore
Château Pavie
Il nome Pavie deriva dalla coltivazione di pesche che occupava questa zona di Saint-Émilion prima del IV secolo. Oggi Château Pavie porta questa eredità nel nome ed è il più vasto Premier Grand Cru Classé in tutta la denominazione. Con 37 ettari continui di viti e molto sole, questo straordinario lotto affacciato a sud può essere ricompreso in tre terroir specifici. La tenuta, recentemente riprogettata da Alberto Pinto, ha una grande façade in vetro che offre una vista mozzafiato sulle colline del vigneto. C'è chi dice che sia addirittura "l'angolo più bello di Saint-Émilion". Acquistato da Gérard Perse nel 1998, proprietario degli Châteaux Pavie-Decesse e Monbousquet, Pavie è oggi uno dei più grandi produttori innovativi. Pavie e gli altri vini di Perse sono rossi da vendemmia tardiva e molto concentrati, bilanciati dalla dicotomia tra opulenza e delicatezza. Promosso allo status di Premier Grand Cru Classé A nel 2012, il Grand Vin Pavie è un vino Perse esemplare, vinificato con un approccio moderno. Il risultato è ricco, concentrato e di grande qualità.
