Pavie

You are looking for bottles of Château Pavie ?

Here is one of the best wines of Saint-Emilion, 100% in stock on the site. Château Pavie, owned by Gérard Perse, is a wine estate that extends over 37 hectares. It is located in Saint-Emilion, in Gironde.

Chateau Pavie, formerly Premier Grand Cru Classé B in the latest rankings of Saint-Emilion wines of 2006 is promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé A in 2012 alongside Angelus. A promotion acquired thanks to the great investment of Gerard Perse and the precious advice of Michel Rolland (who have, moreover, largely contributed to the reputation of the Domain).

Château Pavie is a typical Saint-Emilion of the hillsides, in which the finesse largely prevails over the fat and silkiness of the appellation. It has an average yield of 35 hl/ha. The vines are on average 45 years old and the blend of Pavie contributes largely to make an exceptional wine:

Merlot 60%.
Cabernet Franc 30%.
Cabernet Sauvignon 10%.

The vineyard and the production

The vines are exposed to the South, the climatic conditions are ideal. The terroir is conducive to the production of a great wine. The vinification of Pavie is done in oak barrels. Fermentation takes place in thermo-regulated wooden vats and is followed by 18 to 24 months of maturation in new barrels. The result is a powerful, rich, elegant, dense and complex wine with a remarkable ageing potential.

Château Pavie produces 88 000 bottles. It is widely exported with only 40,000 bottles of this wine for the French market. The estate also produces a second wine called "Les Arômes de Pavie" mainly from younger vines under 10 years old. Although this is its second wine, the estate gives the same care to it as to its first wine, both in viticulture and vinification.
