Product Notes

The Château Pavie Arômes de Pavie 1er Grand Cru Classé St Emilion is an exquisite Bordeaux red wine from the renowned winemaking region of St Emilion. Displaying a beautifully deep ruby colour, each sip reveals rich layers of dark fruits, carpaccio, cocoa and hints of liquorice. A well-textured wine with firm tannins and balanced acidity, resulting in a wonderfully long finish. The complexity of its structure artfully marries depth, power and controlled elegance. Aged skilfully in French oak barrels, every decanter of this French classic promises a refined and justly memorable sensory experience. A must for the true wine connoisseur.

Tasting Notes

Deeply coloured, powerful and intense, its garnet hues are inky rich. Currently, the initial aromas skew toward the toasted range, where the oak's louder voice overshadows the black fruit. At the moment of this tasting, the wine expresses itself with classic style; it is finding its footing, pulling itself together. Aromas of burlat cherry jam and good, old-fashioned preserves are integrating with age. In the mouth, this vintage is still firm with a fresh first impression, substantial, with robust tannins in the mid-palate which transition to a rounder, more generous expression. This wine remains rich and powerful, leaving a mouth-watering, spicy impression in the mouth. A good effort for this still-young wine, which will continue to improve with time as it further develops its Pavie character

Situated in the heart of the Saint-Emilion region in France, Château Pavie is one of the most distinguished wineries in the world.

The vineyard's long-standing practice of organic farming ensures the preservation of the robust quality and character of the grapes.

Château Pavie Wine, famously known for its intense flavour, concentration and depth, is primarily a blend of Merlot (60%), Cabernet Franc (25%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (15%). Each grape variety adds its own distinct profile to the Pavie's signature wines. The Merlot lends a velvety lushness, the Cabernet Franc imparts a distinctive aromatic complexity, and the Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure and depth to the palate.

Notably, in 2012, Château Pavie achieved the prestigious status of Premier Grand Cru Classé A, the highest classification level. This is testament to their unwavering commitment to quality and innovation. The winery also offers exceptional tours and tastings, set in breathtaking vistas of rolling vineyards and historic architectural beauty: it's indeed a sensory feast.
