Anmeldelser af Chateau Pavie Saint-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé A 2020

99-100/100 James Suckling ”The aromas are already exceptional, showing crushed-stone, limestone and salt character to the dark fruit and bark. It’s full-bodied, yet agile. Floats on the palate, then kicks in with loads of ultra fine tannins. The intensity and verve of this wine promises true greatness.”

98-99/100 Terre de Vins

98/100 Markus Del Monego MW “A brilliant wine with deep purple cplour, violet hue and a black core. Rich and refined nose with complex character, blackberries, plums and elderberries, hints of black cherries and sloe in the background, complemented by oriental spices, cardamom, vanilla and cloves. On the palate opulent yet elegant with great freshness, massive yet balanced tannins, multi-layered fruit and oriental spices. An outstanding wine with excellent complexity, depth and length.”

98/100 Bettane & Desseauve

97/100 Decanter “The Cabernets dominate the blend on the aromatics, and you can really see they are moving the needle on the architecture and sculpting of this wine. A ton of concentration on the nose and upfront, but it is well balanced by damson and blackberry, and has a sense of energy, uplift and clear minerality. This shows the limestone terroir in a way that, with the best will in the world, the more concentrated style of Pavie just didn't do. There is density and glamour, with layers of black chocolate, graphite and liquorice. It is pretty disarming overall, and will age extremely well. 3.61pH. A yield of 31hl/ha, average age of vine 49 years. 75% new oak.”

Om Château Pavie

Den nyrige Gerard Perse købte efter salget af to supermarkedskæder først Chateau Monbousquet (1993) og siden Chateau Pavie (1998). Perses indtog i Saint-Émilion gjorde ham fra starten kontroversiel: hverken parisisk arrogance eller ultramoderne og koncentrerede vine var hverdagskost på egnen. Men bag facaden gemte sig en stræben efter perfektion, som siden har givet store resultater. Raketfarten startede brat med Perses første årgang af Pavie (1998), der høstede 95 points hos Parker. Siden er det blevet til en håndfuld perfekte Parker-bedømmelser: 100 pts til årgang 2000, 2005, 2009, 2010 samt 2016. På nationalt plan blev anerkendelsen fuldbyrdet i 2012 med Pavies forfremmelse til 1er Grand Cru Classé A. Pavies terroir har aldrig stået til diskussion – 37 storslåede hektar fordelt på kalkstensplateau og sydvendte skråninger. Afløvning i frugtzonen og systematisk grøn høst hjælper til at producere lave udbytter af perfekt solmoden frugt. I vineriet gennemgår frugten følgende stadier: streng kvalitetssortering; koldmacerering før gæring; 6 ugers egentlig maceration; yderligere koncentration ved ”blødning” (saignee-metoden); malolaktisk gæring samt 18-32 mdrs. modning på 70-100% nye barrique-fade. Konsulterende ønolog: Michel Rolland. Andenvin: Aromes de Pavie. Udover Pavie og Monbousquet ejer Gerard Perse det Grand Cru-klassificerede Pavie-Decesse.
