Château Pavie 2009 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
95-97 Barrel sample. A super-rich wine, but one that has managed to retain a superb balance. It is powerful, dense and concentrated, but there is also complexity from the wonderful juicy fruits.

Château Pavie 2009 Red (Saint-Emilion)
- $350
With its superripe, jammy fruit, this is lush and opulent. It does have a fine structure as well as bitter chocolate and dark tannins. A hugely powerful wine.

Château Pavie 2006 Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Cellar Selection
Always ripe, always velvety and dense in texture, Pavie’s 2006 nevertheless also shows more structure and elegance than in the past few vintages. The result is a great wine, with smoky, rich fruit and a dense, concentrated core of sweet tannins, chocolate and fresh raspberry flavors. While it is seductive now, it really needs many years of aging.

Château Pavie 2008 Red (Saint-Emilion)
Dry tannins dominate this wine. Pavie’s style has become less exuberant, more restrained, which allows the terroir to show through in its tannins and concentration. This is for long-term aging.

Château Pavie 2008 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
92-94 Barrel sample. Very dense, with plenty of new wood. The fruit is ripe, but moving towards elegance, keeping its richness in control. After, the fruit bursts in the mouth.

Château Pavie 2007 Red (Saint-Emilion)
- $210
A solidly structured wine, filled with fig, bitter coffee, spice and wood over a firm structure of tannins. The freshness is quite intense, but the ripe fruit is vivid with layered acidity and new wood. This is a serious wine, for aging.

Château Pavie 2000 Red (Saint-Emilion)
- $250
Under the regime of Gérard Perse, Pavie seems to have become more opulent, more extracted, and, dare I say it, more simplistic. The richness of the 2000 vintage lends itself to this technique. While it is a wonderful, immediately appealing wine, with its intense dark fruits, it seem to lack the complexity of other wines of similar status.

Château Pavie 2010 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
91-93 This feels very juicy, the fruit almost over-ripe. There is a generous new world feel to it, very opulent, super-rich. Open black plum and damson fruits push through the dark, perfumed tannins.
