Arômes de Pavie 2024 en Primeur

Bright, a touch of sherbet, orange rind, milk chocolate, raspberry and cranberry. Super fresh and vibrant. Clean and chiselled this is well built with freshness and crispness. It starts off well but builds to a chalky mid palate that stops and tightens and tapers a little. Really fresh, cool mint, clove, liquorice. A touch tense on the finish, but there’s detail and such precision. You can feel the Cabernet Franc playing its part. Well built for sure, less approachable than some, but it has a good outline. A serious second wine. Ageing 50% new oak, 50% one-year-old barrels. A yield of 22.24hl/ha. 3.55pH.

Très fruité, avec une matière dense et intense. La finale menthée et florale est toute en fraîcheur.

Depuis 2019, 13 hectares du célèbre château y sont dédiés (50% merlot, 50% cabernet franc). La sensation argilo-calcaire témoigne d'une certaine carrure et fermeté. L'amertume insistante le rend un peu anguleux, mais il saura s'affiner à l'élevage.

Equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Aromes De Pavie comes all from the upper plateau of pure limestone soils. Black raspberries, graphite, crushed stone, and floral notes all shine here, and it's medium-bodied, has a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. It even picks up a hint of truffles with time in the glass, and it's a beautiful Saint-Émilion in the making.

This has a pretty density with blueberries, black cherries and orange peel. Medium body, creamy tannins and a fresh, vivid finish. Lovely texture. Second wine of Pavie, made from particular parcels. 50% merlot and 50% cabernet franc.

Dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, delicate edge brightening. Delicate tangerine zest, ripe cherry, a hint of plum, a hint of wood and nougat. Taut, tight-knit, ripe cherry fruit, fresh acidity, mineral and persistent, a promising food companion.
