The Pavie 2021 is a blend of 52% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon. It matures in French oak barrels, of which 75% are new oak barriques. Colored opaque purple-black, notes of plum pudding, blueberry pie and dark chocolate-covered cherries rush out of the glass, closely followed by hints of eucalyptus, star anise, tobacco and fertile loam with a hint of cedar wood. The full palate is built like a brick house, offering very firm but wonderfully ripe, velvety tannins and seamless freshness to support the densely loaded, muscular black and blue fruit, with a long finish and plenty of mineral layers.

The vineyard of Château Pavie covers 42 hectares. It is a large whole, 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 took over a small grocery store in a suburb in 1976 and subsequently achieved enormous success with franchise supermarkets for Champion (Carrefour). Until he only wants to work on wine. In 1998, after purchasing several other wineries, he bought Château Pavie. In the region he is seen as a denier of Saint-Emilion wines because of the techniques he applied, for example the early cutting of unripe bunches of grapes to limit production and increase quality. Considered an outrageous waste at the time, 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.

2021 Pavie
(95-97)
Drinking Window
2031 - 2061
From: 2021 Bordeaux En Primeur: Back to Classicism (May 2022)
The 2021 Pavie is a wine of tremendous potential. Naturally, it shows the more mid-weight style of the year and yet there is plenty of depth as well as energy that starts to emerge with a bit of time in the glass. Bright saline notes shape the wine while extending the finish and adding so much drive. The 2021 is shaping up to be a very special wine. All it needs is time.
- By Antonio Galloni on April 2022
This is a gorgeous set of wines from the Perse family. The 2021s marry the textural richness that is such a signature here with the bright acids and overall energy of the year. It’s a combination that works so well.
2020 Pavie
(97-99)
Drinking Window
2035 - 2060
From: 2020 Bordeaux En Primeur: Almost Back to Normal (Jun 2021)
The 2020 Pavie is very clearly one of the wines of the year. Rich, inky and wonderfully vibrant, it pulses with energy from start to finish. All the elements are well balanced. Soaring Cabernet Franc aromatics lead into a core of finely knit yet deep fruit in a wine that feels endless. Harvest for the reds started on September 17, paused briefly during some rain on the 25th and 26th, and then wrapped up by the end of the month. The blend is 50% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, so more Cabernets than in the past, the result of a large replanting program that began in the early 2000s. A real head-turner. Magnificent!

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.
