The estate and the wine |
|
|
At the head of 5 prestigious estates, Château Pavie, a “Grand Cru Classé A,” Gérard Perse is a true winemaking innovator and creates a wine from his different properties that truly embodies his style: L’Esprit de Pavie. This wine has been widely acclaimed by international critics, especially in this 2015 vintage. |
|
|
| |
|
Unctuous, fruity, and inviting, the 2016 Red Esprit de Pavie comes from the estate's young vines on south-facing slopes. With an obvious naturalness of expression and a fresh and well-proportioned palate, it unfolds ripe flavors of fruit associated with a fine, delicate and discreet oakiness. The coated tannins, the polished texture, and the right control make it immediately pleasant. An impeccable and universal style. Rated 91/100 Bettane+Desseauve. |
|
|
| |
|
Hand harvested. Alcoholic fermentation in thermo-regulated vats then malolactic fermentation. Aging for 15 months in barrels of a wine from Château Pavie and Château Monbousquet. |
