The Pavie 2019 is a blend of 50% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon. Very deep garnet purple in colour it bursts from the glass with a fabulously expressive nose of crème de cassis, plum compote and blueberry preserves, leading to an impressive range of nuances, with notes of dark chocolate, camphor, liquorice, rose petals, loam and mineral notes. The rich, full palate offers layer upon layer of lush black and blue fruit with lots of exotic spice and lovely floral and mineral notes, supported by firm, super soft tannins and notable tension, finishing with great length and depth. This can only be Pavie. It makes for a temptingly stylish glass now, but patience will be rewarded if aged in bottle for at least 5-7 years and then drunk for the next 30 years. This is a 1.5 litre magnum

About the Château Pavie winery
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 finish 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-Emilion wines because of the techniques he used, such as the premature cutting of unripe bunches of grapes to limit production and increase quality. At the time, this was considered an unheard-of waste, but today almost everyone does it. The success of his wines has improved his reputation considerably. Not only Parker, but also other international wine critics give the highest scores. And wine with a story.

2019 Bordeaux Primeurs Flash Review 4, The Wine Advocate
The 2019 Pavie is a blend of 50% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, harvested from the 30th of September to the 11th of October. The yields this year were 35 hectoliters per hectare, and the alcohol came in at 14.73%, while the pH was 3.55 (remarkably low!). Very deep garnet-purple in color, the nose opens with a beguiling array of intertwined earth and black fruit scents: baked plums, black cherry preserves, tilled soil, black truffles, mossy tree bark and mulberries with nuances of allspice, clove oil, espresso and cedar chest. Full-bodied, densely packed and with a rock-solid structure, the constrained flavor layers are just waiting to explode; it's framed by firm, exquisitely ripe, rounded tannins and this vineyard's signature freshness, finishing with epic length and depth. Quaking with latent power and shimmering with a kaleidoscope of electric flavors, this could only be Pavie.

From: Omne Trium Perfectum: Bordeaux 2019s in Bottle (Feb 2022)
The 2019 Pavie was sent directly from the château to my home in mid-January. Given the freedom to decant, I decided to examine this Saint-Émilion, the only "A" left standing at time of writing, over a 24-hour period. It has a very controlled and focused nose, one that completely contradicts those that still claim that somehow Pavie is overripe or picked too late. This is delineated, clean and precise – dare I say, almost "classic" in style. Those blackberry and incense aromas that I remarked upon from the barrel sample remain in situ, and the floral component is enhanced, suggesting iris rather than violet. The palate is medium-bodied, yet full in the mouth, the tannins lacquering though not overwhelming. The oak is neatly integrated, building very nicely, and the copious black fruit is laced with graphite and tobacco courtesy of the Cabernets, which, lest we forget, constitute half the 2019 blend. I noticed how, after three hours, the tannins become more prominent, toughening up a little, the Cabernets edging out the Merlot and lending more of a Left Bank-like personality. Then, after 24 hours, the wine mellows and becomes plush, putting quite a distance between itself and the more ostentatious Pavie-Decesse. It shuts down a little on the finish, a timely reminder that this Pavie will need plenty of cellaring. But this is going to be an awesome Saint-Émilion.

From: 2019 Bordeaux from Bottle: The Two Towers (Feb 2022)
The 2019 Pavie is incredibly elegant right out of the gate. Aromas of crushed rose petal, cedar, mint and sweet pipe tobacco are immediately alluring. The 2019 is sensual and inviting, with no excess weight and fabulous overall balance. Blood orange, red/purplish fruit, cinnamon and mint develop effortlessly. Time in the glass brings out Cabernet Franc aromatics and structure, leading to a feeling of vertical intensity that is hugely appealing.

From: Uncertain Smile: Bordeaux 2019 (Jun 2020)
The 2019 Pavie was picked from 30 September to 11 October at 29hl/ha. It is initially exubertant, feisty on the nose, a bit like the Pavie-Decesse. Allowing my sample an hour in the glass, it evolves more grace and composure with scents of blackberry, briary, incense and iris flowers. The oak beautifully integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite an edgy line of acidity, touches of graphite infusing the very pure black fruit on the satin-textured finish. This is undoubtedly a very impressive, sauve Pavie destined for long-term drinking.

From: 2019 Bordeaux: A Long, Strange Trip (Jun, 2020)
The 2019 Pavie is a showstopper. A wine of soaring intensity and grandeur, Pavie is striking from the very first taste. A rush of red/purplish berry fruit, mocha, dried flower and lavender builds effortlessly. The purity of the flavors is just striking. Racy, deep and sensual through to the finish, Pavie is magnificent. What a wine. 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.

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.
Order Château Pavie easily online or pick up your wine at our collection point in Dordrecht. Our sommeliers are happy to advise you on cellaring potential, serving temperature, and food pairings.
