This Saint-Emilion from Château Pavie is very rich, concentrated and ripe. The wine is a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. Mineral tones and an exceptional purity of fruit are reflected in the wine. You can only find this in the world's best wines. A particularly complex bouquet with dark fruit, truffle, coffee, cocoa, minerality and light smokiness. Impressive in taste. Impressive with power and elegance, with lush fruit, a firm but fine structure and the intensity of ripe fruit and spiciness. Finally, you will be rewarded with a huge final. Already beautiful, but our advice: put it in the wine cellar. This wine develops for decades. The 2015 volume was already rated very high, but the 2016 received the magical and maximum 100/100 Parker points.
The vineyard of Château Pavie is 42 hectares. It is a large entity, but contains various terroirs, each with its own microclimate. Château Pavie is often one of the last wineries to complete the harvest. They work responsibly: 70% of the vineyard is now treated organically, they strive for 100%.
Today, Gerard Perse is the man in charge. A self-made man and a millionaire from Paris. The son of a painter takes over a small grocery store in 1976 in a suburb and then achieves huge successes with franchise supermarkets for Champion (Carrefour). Until he only wants to be busy with wine. In 1998, after purchasing a few other wineries, he bought Château Pavie. In the region, he is seen as a denier of Saint-Emilion wines by the techniques he applied, for example early cutting of unripe bunches of grapes to limit production and increase quality. Considered at the time an unheard of waste, today almost everyone does it. Due to the success of his wines, his reputation has improved a lot. Not only Parker, but also other international wine critics give the highest scores. And wine with a story.

End of March 2019, The Wine Advocate
The 2016 Pavie a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Very deep purple-black in color, it needs a little coaxing to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal a fragrant perfume of violets, chocolate-covered cherries, crushed blueberries and eucalyptus over a core of preserved plums, kirsch, black raspberries and crème de cassis plus hints of licorice and chargrilled meat. Full-bodied and built like a brick house, it has a solid foundation of firm, super ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness interknit with the black fruit preserves and minerally layers, finishing very long and very decadent. Superb!

Château Pavie ranks among the very best in Saint-Émilion. The estate is known for its powerful and structured wines, crafted from an extensive vineyard with diverse terroirs. Since Gérard Perse took ownership, Pavie has grown into a modern, ambitious estate with a strong focus on quality and precision.
Château Pavie is one of the most iconic wine estates in Saint-Émilion, located on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. The vineyard covers an impressive 42 hectares, making it one of the largest contiguous estates in the appellation. Despite its size, there is no uniformity. The soil is a mix of limestone, clay, and sand, spread across various slopes and elevations. Each parcel has its own microclimate, contributing to the depth, complexity, and layered character of the wines.
Château Pavie is known for being one of the last estates to harvest in Saint-Émilion. This gives the grapes the maximum time to ripen and reach their full potential. Today, 70% of the vineyard is organically farmed, with the goal of eventually converting the entire estate. This fits with the estate's meticulous and future-focused philosophy.
Gérard Perse is the man behind Château Pavie’s success—a man with a remarkable story. Originally the son of a painter in Paris, he built his fortune with supermarket chains before turning his full attention to wine in the 1990s. In 1998, after acquiring other estates in the region, he purchased Château Pavie.
Perse did not shy away from innovation. He was initially criticized for his unconventional methods—such as green harvesting, removing unripe grape clusters to improve quality—which traditional Saint-Émilion producers viewed as wasteful. But his methods paid off. Today, many winemakers follow his lead, and Château Pavie is firmly established among Bordeaux’s elite.
Did you know that the name “Pavie” refers to peach trees (*pavies*) that once grew on the hills of Saint-Émilion? The name appears in several estates, such as Château Pavie Macquin and Château Pavie Decesse. Although these are separate properties, they share a historical connection.
The wines of Château Pavie are known for their power, concentration, and impressive structure. They offer outstanding aging potential and evolve beautifully over time. Critics agree: Château Pavie ranks among the world’s finest wines. Not only Robert Parker, but also many other international reviewers consistently award scores of 95 points and higher.
At Grandcruwijnen, you’ll find a carefully curated selection of Château Pavie and other top Saint-Émilion wines. All our bottles are stored under ideal conditions in a professionally climate-controlled warehouse, ensuring optimal quality.
