Chateau Pavie 2007

One of Saint-Émilion's most celebrated estates, Château Pavie reveals profound aromas of black cherry, blackberry, cassis, violet, graphite, espresso, and dark chocolate. Powerful yet impeccably refined, it offers velvety tannins, extraordinary concentration, vibrant freshness, and an exceptionally long finish with world-class aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, venison, duck breast, truffle potatoes, aged Comté, wild mushrooms, or braised short ribs.

95 Points - James Suckling 

Very pretty density and dark-berry, bitter-chocolate and smoked-oak character. Some coffee, too. Full-bodied, firm and racy. Drink or hold.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast 

A solidly structured wine, filled with fig, bitter coffee, spice and wood over a firm structure of tannins. The freshness is quite intense, but the ripe fruit is vivid with layered acidity and new wood. This is a serious wine, for aging.
