Note di degustazione
The 2024 Pavie is on a par with the most successful wines of the vintage. It’s wonderfully intense and complex with notes of crushed violets and ripe raspberries that burst out of the glass. The palate is very polished, full of crunchy red fruit that balances the vein of acidity that runs along through to the finish. The tannins are firm, but not in any way excessive, and dissipate effortlessly on the finish. The estate credits the use of an optical sorting machine for the quality of the finish product in barrel. 13.71%, 3.68pH. Aged in 65% new oak. Blend: 51% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon

Based on 51% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2024 Château Pavie is still aging in 65% new barrels. It's tight and focused at this stage, with medium-bodied aromas and flavors of black raspberries, juicy cassis, graphite, violets, and crushed stone. I love its overall purity. It has beautiful tannins, a layered, elegant mouthfeel, and a great finish. It plays in the fresher, more focused style of the vintage, yet still brings classic Pavie texture, depth, and richness.
Deep garnet-purple colored. Comes barreling out with ready-to-go notes of red currant jelly, fresh black plums, and boysenberries, plus suggestions of tilled soil, cardamom, black olives, and lavender oil. Medium-bodied, the palate is tightly wound with intense red and black berry layers, supported by firm, fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and minerally. Pure energy.
There is no better way to discover the power of the Pavie terroir than to see how it has peformed in 2024 - a naturally cooler and slimmer vintage, and yet you still have a wine here that has depth, energy, intensity and concentration, squid ink, fennel, oyster shell salinity. The fruit is sappy, for sure a brighter and slimmer version of Pavie compared to many vintages but this is still unmistakeable estate signature. 42ha in production, now including Pavie Decesse and Bellevue Mondotte (as of 2022). 24hl/h yield, September 27 to October 9, 3.69 pH. 65% new oak, with lower toast.
