2009 was a vintage for the ages in Bordeaux—and Château Pavie soared. This is a monumental Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé “A” that combines the bold, sun-drenched fruit of the vintage with the estate’s signature elegance. It’s muscular but velvety, structured but sensual. The kind of bottle you plan a dinner around.
Dominated by Merlot with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine erupts with dark plum, black cherry, exotic spice, and wet stone. The texture is plush and mouth-coating, with enough tannin and freshness to carry it through decades. This is modern Pavie: unapologetically bold, but grounded in terroir.
