2020 Chateau Pavie
Red Bordeaux Blend
France / Bordeaux / Medoc / Saint-Emilion Grand Cru
WINEMAKER NOTES
2020 Chateau Pavie – Modern Saint-Emilion with Serious Structure
The 2020 Chateau Pavie is a commanding Right Bank Bordeaux, shaped by the estate’s limestone-rich slopes above Saint-Emilion. Long associated with depth and ambition, Pavie in 2020 delivers a concentrated, finely built profile that balances generous fruit with the architectural tannins and freshness collectors look for in top Saint-Emilion Grand Cru bottlings.
Tasting Notes
Aromatics lean toward black cherry, cassis, crushed stone, and dark cocoa, with subtle floral and savory notes emerging as it opens. The palate is dense yet controlled, showing layered dark fruit framed by firm, polished tannins. Acidity keeps the wine lifted through the mid-palate, while the finish is long and mineral, with a chalky persistence that reflects Pavie’s hillside terroir.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
The blend is typically led by Merlot, supported by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from a mosaic of parcels on the cote and plateau. The estate’s emphasis on low yields and careful selection is matched by precise vinification and maturation in French oak, building texture and longevity without blurring site definition. The limestone and clay soils of Saint-Emilion play a central role in the wine’s line and aging capacity.
Investment & Collectibility
Chateau Pavie remains one of the most actively followed estates in Saint-Emilion, with consistent global demand among collectors of Right Bank Bordeaux. The 2020’s structure and concentration suggest a long drinking window, positioning it well for cellar-focused buyers and fine wine investment strategies.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
The 2020 growing season produced ripe, expressive wines with freshness and definition. If you have verified critic scores for this bottling, I can insert them here in your preferred hierarchy.

Packaging & Temperature-Sensitive Shipping
To protect wine quality, all orders are packed in EPS foam shippers, with gel packs when necessary.
Wine is temperature-sensitive and may be affected by excessive heat, freezing temperatures, or significant temperature fluctuations during transit. During periods of elevated temperature risk, we strongly recommend selecting Next Day Air service whenever available.
Customers requesting shipment during warm or cold weather conditions must review and agree to our Temperature Protection & Shipping Policy. By requesting shipment, customers acknowledge and accept the risks associated with temperature exposure, carrier delays, failed delivery attempts, and other transit-related conditions outside of Angry Wine Merchant's control.
For OWC (Original Wooden Case) orders, bottles are removed and shipped in foam for safety. The wooden case ships separately via Ground unless otherwise requested.
Weather Holds & Free Storage
In periods of extreme heat or cold, we reserve the right to delay shipment until safer conditions return. Customers may also request that we hold an order for future shipment.
We offer complimentary temperature-controlled storage for up to 6 months from the date of purchase. Select the "Hold for Weather" option at checkout and we will coordinate shipping at a later date.
Insurance
We provide free shipping insurance for loss or visible damage during transit, subject to carrier terms and conditions.
Shipping insurance does not cover deterioration in wine condition resulting from heat exposure, freezing temperatures, temperature fluctuations, carrier delays, missed delivery attempts, carrier holds, or other temperature-related transit conditions. Please review our Temperature Protection & Shipping Policy for more information.
Adult Signature Required
All shipments of alcohol require an adult signature (21+) upon delivery. Carriers will not release packages without adult authorization.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that an eligible adult is available to receive the shipment on the first delivery attempt. Additional charges may apply for re-delivery, redirection, failed delivery attempts, returned shipments, or reshipment.
