Pavie 2003 est un vin très atypique qui a souffert de la canicule et n'a pas su maîtriser ses extractions. Le nez est marqué par les fruits surmûris, le pruneau, les fruits à l'eau de vie, le chocolat et le tabac. La bouche est ample, puissante et très concentrée. Un peu lourd, il pâtit de son maqnue d'acidité et évolue vers des notes plus amères. Un vin proche du style Napa !

Robert Parker – 98+/100 Drink 2012-2030+

The finest bottle I have ever tasted of the 2003 Pavie. I found this wine powerful, disjointed, and nearly over the top when it was first bottled, but it has calmed down considerably, and this bottle was pure nectar. Rich and full-bodied with superb definition and purity, but none of the so-called late harvest characteristics that have been falsely attributed to it. It's a beauty that appears to be on a much faster evolutionary track than the 2000.

Jancis Robinson – 12/20 Drink -

Completely unappetising over-ripe aromas. Why? Porty sweet. OH REALLY!! Port is best from the Douro not Saint Emilion. Ridiculous wine. More reminiscent of a late-harvest Zinfandel than a red Bordeaux with its unappetising green notes. (I should make it clear that these notes were written long before I knew what the wine was - and I have witnesses!)

James Suckling – 96/100 Drink -

Super-ripe and almost jammy. Very new world on the nose but impressive. Bordeaux-like on the palate. Berries, raspberries and strawberries. Hint of wood. Full-bodied with ripe and round tannins and a long finish. Chewy. Got to like this.

Château Pavie-1er Cru Classé A-Appellation Saint Émilion Grand Cru
Château Pavie

During the 4th century, the hillsides of Ausone and Pavie were planted with the first vines to arrive in the region. Château Pavie is set on one of the most famous plots of land in St Emilion. 1

998 was the year of major changes: Château Pavie was bought by Gérard and Chantal PERSE in March. In August of that year, the first building restoration and reorganisation works began. The vat-house dating back to 1923 was replaced by 20 temperature-controlled wooden vats enabling parcel-by-parcel vinification. The new, completely revolutionary barrel cellar was inaugurated for the 1999 harvests.
