Description
Tout récemment promu Grand Cru Classé A, c’est grâce au brillant Gérard Perse que Pavie est devenu un Château incontournable du Bordelais. Pavie offre l’expression raffinée et très délicat d’un Saint-Emilion de grande noblesse.
Sur 2009, retrouvez un millésime qui évoluera constamment pendant les trente voire quarante prochaines années. Le nez est porté par un boisé dense, presque massif mais qui n’en n’oublie pas la finesse indissociable de ce cru magique. Le velouté de la bouche séduit le palais tout en présentant de beaux tanins profonds et denses.
Suggestion gourmande
Côte de boeuf sauce bordelaise.
Avis des Experts
The Wine Advocate
"While the Perses may think the 2005 is the summit of winemaking at Pavie, this vintage certainly gives serious competition to both the 2005 and 2000. It is certainly the most opulent and luxuriously rich wine Pavie has ever made (and that is saying something). Pavie’s style of low yields, ripe fruit and serious extraction does produce, even in lighter vintages, a very concentrated and dense wine, but in the great years, the results are legendary. This wine has an inky purple color and a stunningly sweet, ripe nose of mulberries, blackberries, blackcurrants, licorice and incense. The oak still has some presence in the aromatics, as well as in the full-bodied, very concentrated, skyscraper-like mouthfeel and texture. This wine feels almost as if you could lose your palate in it, it is so dense and deep, yet at the same time it possesses silky tannins and rather remarkable purity, balance, and a good 60-second-plus finish. This is an amazing wine and probably will be drinkable in 5-10 years (although actually it could be drunk now because of the vintage’s voluptuous texture), and again, seems to have 50 or more years of longevity. It is clearly a modern Bordeaux legend."
