CHATEAU PAVIE, 2003

SAINT-EMILION GRAND CRU

« Un nez empreint de nostalgie, qui rappelle ces courses folles de l'enfance entre les sapins et la roseraie. En bouche, un cœur battant de fruits noirs, une fraîcheur florale et une texture légère comme une plume. Encore un pas de géant pour ce vin qui révèle ici toute la finesse et la complexité de son terroir. » - Figaro Vin

History and anecdotes

In 1998, Gerard Perse acquired Château Pavie. Major investments began in the Château in order to give its reputation back. Michel Rolland acted as consulting oenologist and the architect Alberto Pinto redesigned the estate. In 2012, the excellence of Château Pavie became well-known thanks to its promotion and “A” classification as Premier Grand Cru in the Saint-Emilion appellation.

Since antiquity, the estate has been well-known for its fruit production, especially the Pavie peaches. The Château was named after them.
