WINEMAKER NOTES
2016 Chateau Pavie – Premier Grand Cru Classé A Power from Saint-Émilion
The 2016 Chateau Pavie captures the essence of Saint-Émilion’s limestone terroir in one of the Right Bank’s most celebrated vintages. This Premier Grand Cru Classé A wine offers immense structure and depth, crafted with the precision and boldness that have come to define modern Pavie.
Tasting Notes
Concentrated aromas of black cherry, licorice, and violet are layered with hints of graphite, truffle, and cedar. On the palate, the wine is dense and powerful, yet remarkably refined—offering cassis, dark chocolate, and tobacco leaf carried by firm tannins and a mineral-driven, persistent finish.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
The 2016 vintage is a blend of **60% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon**, sourced from Pavie’s high-elevation limestone slopes. The wine was aged for **up to 24 months in 80% new French oak barrels**, with strict vineyard selection and low yields to preserve power and purity. Pavie’s location and soil type deliver a signature balance of freshness and concentration.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2016 Chateau Pavie is one of the estate’s most complete and age-worthy wines. With high scores from every major critic and limited availability, it continues to be a prized acquisition for collectors. Perfect for your collection.
Vintage Specifics & Accolades
The **2016 vintage** in Bordeaux was exceptional, especially on the Right Bank, delivering wines with energy, clarity, and aging potential that rivals the greatest years.
