Critic reviews
"The 2023 Pavie was picked at 32.76 hl/ha and raised in 72% new oak. This has a cohesive bouquet with black cherries, iodine, violet and just a touch of tinned prune in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins that frame mainly black fruit mixed with vanilla pod, orange rind and cracked black pepper. Quite structured toward the spicy finish, this will require at least five years in bottle just to polymerize the tannins on the end."

"The 2023 Pavie is fabulous, just as it was en primeur. Vibrant, deep and layered, the 2023 is bursting with energy. This is one of the most refined, elegant wines I have ever tasted at Pavie. Even with all of that tension, the 2023 has plenty of the rich, textured fruit and palate presence that are such signatures of the house style. Superb."

"A bold wine. Perfumed aromas of violets, sandalwood, blackberries, blueberries and graphite. Full-bodied but not overpowering, with lots of fruit, juicy tannins and a powerful finish. Chewy. 51% merlot, 32% cabernet franc and 17% cabernet sauvignon. Need five or six years to come around. Try after 2030."

"Sappy, measured, soft tannins, earthy and unfussy, well constructed with house style, enjoyable."
