WE LOVE IT BECAUSE:

"The wine has an inky, opaque, plum/purple color and a stunningly rich nose of mulberries, bramble berries, blackberries, licorice and incense as well as touches of toast and graphite. Fabulously concentrated and full-bodied, with a multidimensional mouthfeel, this profound Pavie is in mid-adolescence. It should evolve and continue to drink well for at least another 30-40 years. This is clearly the first compelling effort made by the Perse family.

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. Pavie’s other nearby neighbors include, Pavie-Macquin and Troplong-Mondot to the north, Larcis-Ducasse to the southeast and La Gaffelière and Saint-Georges Côte Pavie to the west."

Château Pavie’s Roman roots stretch back to the fourth century AD, when St Emilion’s first vines were planted at the chateaux known today as Pavie and Ausone. Despite an early start, development only really picked up momentum in the mid-1800s under the direction of Ferdinand Bouffard – a Bordeaux negociant who owned part of Chateau Heritage Haut Brion. Bouffard bought up several neighbouring plots in order to form a 50-hectare vineyard, which included a separately managed area now known as Pavie Decesse. The new composite estate, named after the peach orchards (pavies) that once grew in the area, underwent significant improvement under Bouffard’s hand, despite enduring a grim battle against phylloxera. In 1918 Bouffard sold the estate to Albert Porte, who then sold it to the Valette family in 1943. The chateau remained in the family for half a century until it was taken over by Parisian millionaire Gérard Perse in the late nineties.

The idyllic town of St Emilion on Bordeaux's right bank is a top tourist destination. The vineyards surrounding the picturesque town produce some of the finest merlot based wines in all of France. The clay soils dominant on the right bank moderate temperatures to warm up, harnessing the ripening process and building complexity in the grapes.
