Chateau Pavie is a structured Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé red offering concentrated dark fruit, spice, and mineral notes. Full-bodied with firm tannins and balanced acidity, it delivers depth and power with a long, complex finish reflective of its Right Bank origin.
Food Pairing: Pairs best with steak, lamb, game meats, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses.
97 Points - James Suckling
Very complex with red currants, iodine and iron. Medium-bodied, with a dense yet energetic palate and a long and racy finish showing chalk and gunpowder. Flinty. Tight at the end, suggesting at least four to five years of cellaring.
96 Points - Decanter
Extremely dark aromatics on the nose, dark bramble fruits, cedar and liquorice with a really vibrant but dark indigo rim to the wine. Focussed and sharp, high toned in the best way, this really makes you smile when you first taste it, the juicy but almost sweet acidity making the mouth water while salty, but so well defined tannins coat the mouth giving the structure and support. Lovely finesse and movement from start to finish and an excellent weight too - deep and round but straight and pristine.
96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2021 Chateau Pavie defies the vintage with its ripe, powerful aromatics of cassis, toasted spice, chalky minerality, graphite, and hints of truffly earth. A rich, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, incredibly textured wine with velvety tannins, no hard edges, and a gorgeous finish.
96 Points - Vinous
The 2021 Pavie is a potent, brooding wine that is going to need time to be at its best. Floral and spice notes confer freshness on the bouquet. Structurally, the 2021 is a touch lighter than most recent vintages, but the identity is there.
94 Points - Wine Spectator
Blackberry and black cherry compote flavors bring a restrained juiciness, while floral, singed apple wood and black tea notes fill in liberally. The finish extends nicely, with a long, underlying chalky minerality. An admirable effort for the vintage.
