About the winery Château Pav ie
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 complete 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-Émilion wines because of the techniques he used, such as the early cutting of unripe bunches of grapes to limit production and increase quality. Considered an unheard-of waste at the time, today almost everyone does it. The success of his wines has improved his reputation a lot. Not only Parker, but also other international wine critics give the highest scores. And wine with a story.

The 2018 Arômes de Pavie is made up of 65% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 17% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine has a 3.56 pH and 14.42% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes barreling out of the glass with powerful scents of stewed black cherries, mulberries and plum preserves, plus suggestions of hoisin, chocolate box, anise and underbrush with a touch of dried mint. The full-bodied palate is densely packed with ripe, concentrated black fruits and loads of savory accents, framed by rounded tannins and superb freshness, finishing long and beautifully layered.

This shows blackberry, blue-fruit, dark-chocolate and black-truffle aromas that follow through to a full body with crushed-stone, fruit and black-olive character. Layered with firm tannins that are chewy and intense. A serious Aromes. 65% merlot, 18% cabernet franc and 17% cabernet sauvignon. Try after 2024.

From: Bordeaux 2018: Back in Black (Apr 2019)
The 2018 Arômes de Pavie is a gorgeous, sexy wine. Floral, silky and impeccable, the 2018 is impressive from the very first taste. The purity of the flavors is striking. Over the last few years Pavie has really upped their game with Arômes. The 2018 might be the best yet. Nuanced floral notes add the closing shades of complexity to this gracious, exquisite Saint-Émilion. Above all else, the Arômes de Pavie is absolutely delicious.
- By Antonio Galloni on April 2019
This set of wines from Gérard and Chantal Perse and their family is full of highlights. More importantly, though, it was great to see Gérard Perse in good shape following a serious illness. Although understandably a bit slowed down at the moment, Perse showed all of the same boyish enthusiasm coupled with unrelenting passion that have elevated his estates to the top of the pack in Bordeaux. This year I was especially impressed with the quality of the Arômes de Pavie, the sensuality of Bellevue Mondotte and the completeness of the flagship Pavie.

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.
About Château Pavie
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: the success behind Château Pavie
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.
One name, many faces: Pavie, Macquin, and Decesse
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.
Unique facts about Château Pavie
- Innovative cellar design: Gérard Perse constructed a cutting-edge winery that uses gravity instead of pumps, keeping grapes and must in optimal condition.
Monolithic label: The Château Pavie label features an idealized Roman-style image of the estate—a deliberate choice by Perse to present it as a symbol of greatness. - Top classification since 2012: In the 2012 Saint-Émilion classification, Château Pavie was promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé A, alongside Angélus. A recognition of decades of quality and vision.
- Micromapping in the vineyard: Each plot is individually analyzed for ripeness, sugar, and acidity levels, resulting in a blend crafted with ultimate precision.
Global acclaim:
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.
