Chateau Pavie 2015 Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe
weiteres von

This is really something. Sort of speechless when I taste it.
It shows evocative aromas of wet earth. oyster shell. dust. tile. blackberries and blueberries.
Full body. ultra-fine tannins and a length and intensity that is so. so fine. A wine in perfect harmony. Complete. Hard not not to drink.
Energetic and balanced.
Better to wait for 10 years.
Try in 2028.

In 2015. the blend is 60% Merlot. 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon. and the wine was matured 80% in new French oak. Deep garnet-purple in color. the 2015 Pavie is still sporting a bit of its oak to begin. giving way to a glorious nose of crushed black cherries. blackberries and mulberries plus hints of dried roses. stewed tea. unsmoked cigars and garrigue. The rich. concentrated. full-bodied palate delivers an incredible structure of very firm. very ripe tannins and a racy line of freshness cutting through the dense layers of perfumed black fruits and savory notions. finishing with epic length.

Heady. exotic and absolutely compelling. the 2015 Pavie is one of the standouts of the vintage. Soaring aromatics meld into a core of super-ripe red plum. cherry jam. rose petal. mint and lavender in this sensual. voluptuous Saint-Émilion. Even with all of its flamboyance. the 2015 possesses remarkable nuance and delineation. This is an overwhelmingly beautiful wine that seduces both the intellectual and hedonistic senses. Don't miss it. Tasted two times.

For me. this redefines Pavie. The depth and intensity and more important. the clarity. is really something. Full and ultra-fine tannins. It shows such great tannins and finesse. It is the essences of Pavie.

The 2015 Pavie is a blend of 60% Merlot. 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon that is matured in 80% new oak and 20% one-year-old barrels. It has a really quite glorious bouquet that is sensual and very well defined and pure. In my opinion. just dialing down the new oak even by 15% is allowing more personality and more terroir-expression to filter through. The palate is medium-bodied with supple. ripe. lace-like tannins and a fine bead of acidity. It feels caressing and sensual in the mouth with superb mineralité and purity on the vivacious and sustained finish. This is unquestionably the best wine from Gérard Perse in 2015: a great Pavie with a very long life ahead. though I would cellar it for at least a decade to witness it in full flight.and wine-lovers everywhere.

This delivers some serious fruit firepower. with blueberry. blackberry and plum notes that pump along authoritatively. pulling the creamy tannins along with them. Echoes of tobacco and violet emerge through the finish. along with a buried mineral accent. A contender for wine of the vintage on the Right Bank.
