Description

Another brilliant offering from Pavie...a stunningly rich, dense purple-colored wine displaying a smorgasbord of red and black fruits intermixed with notions of crushed rocks, spring flowers, and subtle wood. Full-bodied, dense, and more fruit-forward than most Pavies, it possesses layers of flavor as well as a stunning finish that lasts for more than a minute. It should serve as a more approachable complement to the enormously endowed, monumental 2005. As he has done in 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2005, Perse has served up another candidate for the wine of the vintage.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin MW 95/100
Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Chteau Pavie has a rich, generous, almost opaque bouquet with raspberry coulis, crushed strawberry, vanilla and melted tar, very well-defined and focused - perhaps more so than the 2006 Angelus? The palate is well balanced with fine tannin, a keen line of acidity, very harmonious in the mouth with black cherries, wild strawberry, citrus fruit, a touch of tar and tobacco developing towards the finish. It leans towards Cheval Blanc in style, but whatever its semblances, it remains a very well-crafted Saint Emilion with a long future ahead. Tasted January 2016.Neil Martin - 30/05/2016
