Double 100 Point 2016 Chateau Pavie
Long overdue and well deserved, Chateau Pavie joined Ausone and Cheval Blanc as a Premier Grand Cru Classe A estate in 2012. Since this time, getting your hands on a new or past-released vintage has been increasingly difficult (and pricey). If you are looking to sample some of the best Pavie has so offer, look no further!
"...very long and very decadent. Superb!" 100 Points RobertParker.com
I had the privilege to visit first-growth Château Pavie and learn that Gérard Perse, came from a humble background starting in grocery stores. He has become the owner of now many wineries, St.-Emilion luxury hotel L'Hostellerie de Plaisance, and wine bar L'Envers du Décor from François des Ligneris. He is also an avid art collector and proudly displays them for visitors and staff of Chateau Pavie.
We are proud to offer the 2016 vintage Chateau Pavie that received two 100-point scores from James Suckling and Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. Arguably one of Pavie's finest wines to date! Available in Bottle and in OWC. Check out the other Double 100 Point 2009 too!
"Pavie is widely acclaimed as one of Bordeaux’s greatest terroirs, of largely limestone and clay soils. Brilliantly situated with a sunny, southern exposure and exceptional drainage, Pavie potentially rivals nearby Ausone, the oldest and possibly the most famous estate in Bordeaux." -Robert Parker
Critical Acclaim:
"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 creme 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!" Lisa Perrott-Brown - January 2019

2016 Pavie | "Spectacular aromas of crushed berries, such as blueberries and raspberries. Fresh flowers with hints of sandalwood. Exotic. Saturated palate of so much fruit, yet remains agile and energetic. Great length and texture. Fills your mouth. This needs time, but a classic. Twin brother of the perfect 2015." February 2019
