The Legacy of Château Pavie
Château Pavie stands among the crown jewels of the Saint-Émilion region, enshrined as a Premier Grand Cru Classé “A” estate. With a history that stretches back to Roman times, the vineyard not only boasts a storied heritage but also a reputation as one of Bordeaux’s finest. As the vineyard matured over centuries, the Perse family’s visionary leadership in the modern era has propelled Château Pavie to the pinnacle of winemaking excellence.
Introducing Esprit de Pavie
Esprit de Pavie Bordeaux is born from the desire to democratize the Pavie experience. Conceived by Gérard Perse, this wine offers an exquisite introduction to the sophistication synonymous with Château Pavie, crafted to be enjoyed more casually while preserving the estate’s prestigious character.
Vineyards and Terroir
Sourced from young vines of Château Pavie and additional Perse-owned plots, Esprit de Pavie benefits from a diverse terroir spread across the Dordogne Valley. These sites, with their sandy-gravelly foothills and clay-limestone plateaus, impart the wine with its characteristic depth and intricacy.
Winemaking Process
Esprit de Pavie Bordeaux represents a harmonious blend primarily composed of Merlot with touches of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, embracing the classic Right Bank tradition. The wine undergoes modern temperature-controlled fermentation and is aged to enhance its fruit-forward profile and achieve a supple texture, ensuring a delightful and ready-to-drink experience.
Tasting Notes
Esprit de Pavie enchants with a deep garnet hue, followed by aromatic notes of blackcurrant and strawberries intertwined with subtle potpourri and herbal nuances. On the palate, it reveals a generous array of Morello cherry, black raspberry, and wild blueberry flavors, framed by firm tannins and lively acidity.
Perfect Pairings
This wine complements an array of dishes, from roasted meats like beef and lamb to rich stews and a selection of semi-hard cheeses. Whether for a casual dinner or a more celebratory gathering, Esprit de Pavie pairs beautifully with culinary pleasures, enhancing the dining experience.
The Essence of Esprit de Pavie
Embodying the essence of Pavie through accessible luxury, Esprit de Pavie stands as an invitation to explore the distinguished Saint-Émilion terroir without compromising on excellence. It offers Bordeaux enthusiasts and newcomers alike a refined yet approachable wine experience, with potential for further complexity upon aging.
