Merlot 50%, Cabernet Franc 34%, Cabernet Sauvignon 16%

We have not been able to taste this wine. The success of the clay and limestone soils of the Right Bank in 2020 bode well for a wine made with Pavie’s exactitude and focus. Owner Gérard Perse is renowned for his attention to detail (as well as his well-documented iconoclasm), but recent vintages have seen a slightly less forthright and uncompromising style. However, Pavie has lost none of the hedonistic glamour that made it so individual in the first place. Expect great things from Pavie in 2020.

About this wine

Merlot

The most widely planted grape in Bordeaux and a grape that has been on a relentless expansion drive throughout the world in the last decade. Merlot is adaptable to most soils and is relatively simple to cultivate. It is a vigorous naturally high yielding grape that requires savage pruning - over-cropped Merlot-based wines are dilute and bland. It is also vital to pick at optimum ripeness as Merlot can quickly lose its varietal characteristics if harvested overripe.
