It is aging in French oak barriques, 70% new. Deep purple-black in color, it needs a little swirling to unleash its exuberant scents of stewed black plums, black cherry compote and boysenberries, plus hints of tar, sautéed herbs and chargrill. The full-bodied palate packs in the black fruit layers, framed by soft tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and earthy.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e91-93 WA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBETTANE \u0026amp; DESSEAUVE : 92-93,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames Suckling : 95-96\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerroir typical of the Saint-Emilion limestone plateau composed of clay-limestone soil on an asteriated limestone subsoil.

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. Until 1978, previous owners rarely produced great wine, but of course that all changed with the acquisition of the 37 hectares, single vineyard by Chantal and Gérard Perse. In short, they dramatically raised the quality. Currently, the vineyard is planted with 60% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, but the actual blend for each vintage tends to possess slightly higher amounts of Merlot. A perfectionist, owner Gérard Perse is flexible with the percentage of new oak, as well as how long the wine is aged in cask. Great vintages can get 100% new oak and spend up to 32 months in barrel. Lesser years are bottled after 18 months and see at least 30% less new oak. There is no fining or filtration. The resulting wine has been considered one of the superstars of Bordeaux since 1978.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom The Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Pavie","offers":[{"title":"Château Pavie Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Les Aromes de Pavie","offer_id":50615493951721,"sku":"MOW-FR-BDX-PAVIESAI-2020-02","price":160.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/7626\/0585\/products\/ChPavie.png?v=1676625578","url":"https:\/\/www.enjoymowine.com\/products\/chateau-pavie-saint-emilion-grand-cru-les-aromes-de-pavie-2020","provider":"MOWINE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
