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 2019 Arômes de Pavie is a blend of 65% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, harvested from the 3rd of October to the 10th of October. The yields this year were 35 hectoliters per hectare, and the alcohol came in at 14.67%, while the pH was 3.46 (remarkably low!). Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes charging out of the glass with energetic notes of freshly crushed blackberries, boysenberries and red and black plums with fragrant touches of garrigue, violets, star anise and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is completely coated with black, blue and red fruits, featuring velvety tannins and an invigorating undercurrent of freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

Such beautiful quality of tannins in this with dense, layered fruit. It’s full-bodied with black fruit, wet earth and smoke. Some meat, too. Muscular, yet agile.

From: 2019 Bordeaux from Bottle: The Two Towers (Feb 2022)
The 2019 Arômes de Pavie is a charming, inviting second wine to drink now and over the next decade. Crushed rose petal, sweet red berry fruit, mocha, dried flowers and blood orange are all nicely delineated. Like all the Perse 2019s, the Arômes is a bit nervous in feel.

From: Omne Trium Perfectum: Bordeaux 2019s in Bottle (Feb 2022)
The 2019 Arômes de Pavie retains the attractiveness that I found out of barrel, offering blackberry and bilberry scents that are quite low-key for this château. The palate is well balanced with lightly spiced red fruit, salted licorice and a slightly grainier finish than the silky one I encountered before. This is a thoroughly decent Deuxième Vin and it should give a decade of drinking pleasure.

From: 2019 Bordeaux: A Long, Strange Trip (Jun, 2020)
The 2019 Arômes de Pavie is a very pleasing, inviting second wine. Red fruit, dried flowers, espresso, menthol and spice all meld together in an open-knit pliant wine with terrific depth and plenty of character. The 2019 will drink beautifully pretty much upon release.Henrique Da Costa, Gérard Perse's son-in-law, explained that while 2019 was hot and dry, conditions were not extremely hot. Cool temperatures in the evenings provided respite from the daytime heat, while water reserves in the soils from the wet spring allowed the vines to avoid stress. As for the wines, they are superb across the board. Most of the attention will naturally center on Pavie, but the entire range is terrific.

From: Uncertain Smile: Bordeaux 2019 (Jun 2020)
The 2019 Arômes de Pavie has an attractive bouquet, well-defined, with blackberry, bilberry and incense notes, the new oak neatly enmeshed. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy ripe tannins, pure blackcurrant mixed with blueberry and a touch of salted liquorice, sleek and silky smooth. This is a very well-crafted second label from Pavie, the best that I have tasted.

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.
