Power and sensuality define 2015 Château Pavie, with heady layers of black cherry, blackberry and ripe plum wrapped in sweet spice, floral tones and a touch of cigar box. The palate is dense and full-bodied yet remarkably precise, its ultra-fine, ripe tannins and vibrant freshness driving a long, resonant finish that shows why this is one of the great Right Bank successes of the vintage.

Château Pavie is the powerful, flagship Grand Vin of this Premier Grand Cru Classé A estate in Saint-Émilion, crafted from a single, south-facing clay-limestone hillside that yields notably structured, ageworthy wines. Typically Merlot-dominant with significant Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, it is known for its intense dark fruit, concentration and mineral-inflected richness, which in recent years have been increasingly balanced by a more polished, elegant style under Gérard Perse’s stewardship.
