About this Item
Esprit de Pavie replaces Aromes de Pavie as the second wine of St-Émilion First Growth Château Pavie, and the 2010 represents terrific value. Esprit de Pavie benefits from the work and expertise of Gérard Perse and his team and comes from the younger vines of Pavie and Monbousquet, as well as small parts of Clos L’Eglise and Sainte Colombe. It carries the humble AC Bordeaux designation but punches well above this classification, given both its winemaking pedigree and the quality of terroir.

Critics Ratings
‘This is a big wine with a black core and a rich, purple rim. The nose is radically intense with ripe cassis, plums and a touch of fruitcake. The palate is full-bodied, richly textured and deeply concentrated, finishing with notes of liquorice, spice and touches of chocolate. It is extremely long and fine. Composed of 70% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, it was matured in seasoned oak and is already starting to reach its maximum pleasure level. Drink through to 2035.’ – Roland Peens, Wine Cellar, 92/100 (Apr 2016)
‘From young vines of Chateau Pavie. A classic 2010 Bordeaux vintage. Full-bodies with round tannins. Also comes with plum, chocolate, and black berry with clean finish.’ – James Suckling, 90/100
