2019 Château Pavie Premier Grand Cru Classé Saint-Emilion Magnum

The Pavie 2019 is a blend of 50% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon. Very deep garnet purple in colour it bursts from the glass with a fabulously expressive nose of crème de cassis, plum compote and blueberry preserves, leading to an impressive range of nuances, with notes of dark chocolate, camphor, liquorice, rose petals, loam and mineral notes. The rich, full palate offers layer upon layer of lush black and blue fruit with lots of exotic spice and lovely floral and mineral notes, supported by firm, super soft tannins and notable tension, finishing with great length and depth. This can only be Pavie. It makes for a temptingly stylish glass now, but patience will be rewarded if aged in bottle for at least 5-7 years and then drunk for the next 30 years. This is a 1.5 litre magnum (97-100) - Parker (98-99) - Suckling About the Château Pavie winery The vineyard of Château Pavie is 42 hectares. It is a large entity, but contains different terroirs, each with its own microclimate. Château Pavie is often one of the last wineries to finish the harvest. They work responsibly: 70% of the vineyard is now treated organically, they aim for 100%. Today, Gerard Perse is the man in charge. A self-made man and millionaire from Paris. The son of a painter, he took over a small grocery store in a suburb in 1976 and then achieved enormous success with franchise supermarkets for Champion (Carrefour). Until he only wanted to do wine. In 1998, after having bought a few other wineries, he bought Château Pavie. In the region, he is seen as a renouncer of Saint-Emilion wines because of the techniques he used, such as the premature cutting of unripe bunches of grapes to limit production and increase quality. At the time, this was considered an unheard-of waste, but today almost everyone does it. The success of his wines has improved his reputation considerably. Not only Parker, but also other international wine critics give the highest scores. And wine with a story. FACT: In the tab 'Attachments' you will find the official fact sheet of this beautiful wine.
