Arômes de Pavie – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru – Red – 2020:

 

The Accessible Luxury: Aromes de Pavie

AROMES DE PAVIE is the highly sought-after second wine of the legendary Château Pavie, a Premier Grand Cru Classé ‘A’ estate in Saint-Émilion. Crafted from selected parcels and younger vines, this wine benefits from the same meticulous vineyard management and the estate’s signature philosophy of concentration and powerful expression. It delivers the luxurious Pavie style with greater early approachability.

Tasting Notes: Power & Polish

Expect a wine that is full-bodied, rich, and impeccably structured, offering immediate pleasure while retaining serious aging potential.

• Nose: Exuberant aromas of stewed black plums, boysenberry, black cherry compote, and a decadent layer of dark chocolate, licorice, and crushed stone minerality.
• Palate: Full-bodied and concentrated, the core of black fruit is framed by soft, fine-grained tannins. It possesses a velvety texture and a vibrant freshness that perfectly balances its inherent richness.
• Finish: Long, powerful, and earthy, showcasing the depth and complexity characteristic of the Saint-Émilion plateau’s clay-limestone soils.

Pairing & Serving

Serve at 60-65°F (16-18°C). Decanting for 60-90 minutes is highly recommended to allow the complex aromas to fully unfold.
