Chateau Pavie 1er Grand Cru Classe A 2023

98–99+
/100

Pavie 2023 består af 51% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc og 17% Cabernet Sauvignon. Pavie ligger på et kalkstensplateau 85 meter over Dordogne. Sydvendte vinstokke, i gennemsnit over 35 år gamle. Udbyttet i 2023 var lidt over 32 hektoliter pr. hektar. Næsen er i første omgang ren, mørk bærfrugt. Overvejende morbær, tørret figen, antydninger af mørke kirsebær og hyldebær. Tæt, kraftfuld, masser af drive og udstrålende energi lige fra næsen. Man kan næsten mærke vibrationerne. Frugten suppleres af et strejf af syrlig chokolade. I munden er 2023 Pavie også en damphammer i sin ekstraherede, tætte, sorte frugt, som bæres af massive tanniner og en nærværende syrestruktur. Alle knapper til højre, absolut fuldt program med hensyn til kraft og koncentration. Det interessante er, at vinen er meget tæt, men samtidig utrolig frisk takket være denne krystallinske syre. Wow, Pavie 2023 er krævende, det er bestemt ikke en let drikkelig, hedonistisk fornøjelse som nogle andre 2023'ere, men virkelig krævende sager. Men det er Pavie aldrig, den har altid brug for tid. Den klæber til ganen som gaffatape, giver ikke slip, er simpelthen utrolig lang. En virkelig evig, hurtig finish med en salt, kridtholdig mineralitet. Den er stadig ret utilgængelig i sin ungdom, men den bliver helt sikkert en langdistanceløber. Pavie er ofte ikke helt min kop te, men jeg vurderer den så objektivt som muligt, for dens storhed kan bestemt ikke fornægtes. *** Château Pavie består af 42 hektar vinstokke, som i gennemsnit er 34 år gamle. Vingården ejes af Gérard Perse. Det bedste terroir på kalksten på de sydlige skråninger af Saint-Émilion - Côte de Pavie. Noget af det bedste, Saint-Émilion har at byde på. Vinstokkene er i gennemsnit 50 år gamle og er tæt beplantet.

Årgangsrapport

Bordeaux 2023 fra en eksperts perspektiv på et modent og tidligt drikkeligt år med elegante, smigrende og silkeagtige tanniner, en høj nydelsesfaktor og et saftigt drikkeflow: Stephane Derenoncourt, ønolog, konsulent på højre og venstre bred, vinmager, en levende legende i Bordeaux: "Tanninerne var modne og af høj kvalitet overalt. Druerne viste fuld teknologisk og fenolisk modenhed. Vinene fra denne årgang er generelt harmoniske og dynamiske." *** Thomas Duclos, førende konsulent og ønolog på højre bred: "Vi opdagede konstant nye ting i 2023-årgangen. Det ville ikke overraske mig, hvis nogle 2023-vine om nogle år viser sig at være bedre end 2022-vinene. Årgang 2023 er meget smigrende: vi har en behagelig blødhed i eftersmagen uden tyngde, elegante teksturer, overraskende silkeagtige..." *** Axel Marchal, førende professor i ønologi ved universitetet i Bordeaux: "På trods af de ekstreme vejrforhold har 2023-årgangen produceret vine med god balance og smukke syrenoter. Vinene er meget behagelige, ikke enormt koncentrerede, men lækre, runde og frugtagtige." *** Michel Rolland, ønolog og vingårdskonsulent og Bordeaux-veteran: "Det aromatiske potentiale var godt, med fremragende aromatisk intensitet og modne frugtsmage. 2023 er en årgang uden overskud og overdådighed. Behagelig, lækker og nem at drikke!

Suckling om: Chateau Pavie 1er Grand Cru Classe A

The depth and intensity is really out of this world. The richness is there, but it's all in balance and has an almost weightless feel to it. It's medium- to full-bodied with purity and definition, and the magic of limestone soils keeps the pH low, giving energy, bright acidity and verve. Terrific young red. 51% merlot, 32% cabernet franc and 17% cabernet sauvignon. 99–100/100

Lisa Perrotti Brown om: Chateau Pavie 1er Grand Cru Classe A

The 2023 Pavie is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs a few moments of swirling to unlock scents of blueberry pie, cassis, and preserved plums, eventually giving way to a gorgeous perfume of violets, star anise, cedar chest, and iron ore. The medium to full-bodied palate shimmers with bright, fresh black fruit layers, framed by firm, ripe, rounded tannins and Pavie's signature tension, finishing very long and very fragrant. This is breathtaking! The blend is 51% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc, and 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, with pH 3.66.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Pavie 1er Grand Cru Classe A

With its black purple color, and just a single swirl you find blackberries, black cherries, cassis, mint, tobacco leaves, spice, and oceanic influences. The palate is even better with its layers of black, and red fruits with their gorgeous sense of purity. The wine is concentrated, deep, long, and intense, as is the minerality. There is an electric vibrance providing a racy mouthfeel that energizes the fruit in the long, expansive finish, buttressed with its aromatics on the palate. The key to the vintage was the ability to wait for the right moments to pick each varietal. To illustrate that point, some of the oldest Merlot vines were harvested after the Cabernet. The wine blends 51% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc, and 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.25% ABV, pH 3.66. Harvesting took place September 18 - October 5. Drink from 2030-2065. 97-99 Pts.

Decanter om: Chateau Pavie 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Aromatic nose, clean and clear, lovely pristine black and red fruits, some dark chocolate with violets, graphite and liquorice. Gorgeous succulence, this is so clear and crystalline with some juicy strawberry and bitter orange. A touch of tension gives the backbone and structure - great direction and movement from start to finish. Poised and piercing - so direct - I love the finesse and refinement, everything feels so elegant. Layered and complex but with zing, a sense of life and tons of energy. Still compact, no doubt, as you'd expect but tannins are fine and the wine has been well constructed - this will be delicious. An impressive showing for Pavie in 2023. 3.66pH.

Colin Hay om: Chateau Pavie 1er Grand Cru Classe A

(Saint Émilion; 51% Merlot; 32% Caberbet Franc; 17% Caberent Sauvignon; a final yield of 32.8 hl/ha; with just 30 per of the total production making the strict selection for the grand vin; pH 3.66; 14.25% alcohol; tasted at Pavie with Olivier Gailly). This has a lovely intense florality – very much the parfumier’s essence of assorted flowers, notably rose and violet. Chocolate-coated violet. Lavender too. Black cherry. A touch of mocha. Espresso coffee. This is big, boldly structured and broad-shouldered, opulent and monumental – in short, Pavie through and through. It also has a lovely texture and mouth feel – cashmere, but layers and layers of its – each forged from pure berry and stone fruit and seemingly interwoven with liquorice and aniseed, with the tannins chiselling the external parameters (setting the width) and indicating the layering too (more horizontally). A gothic cathedral carved from limestone tannins. This is a true vin de garde and deeply imposing and impressive it is too. Aeration brings more grace and harmony – as if the wine starts to relax. In 2023 Pavie offers the finesse of the vintage but with a degree of concentrated power that no other wine of the appellation has.

Neal Martin om: Chateau Pavie 1er Grand Cru Classe A

The 2023 Pavie was picked from September 18 to October 5 at 32.76hL/ha, with some Cabernet Franc actually picked after the Cabernet Sauvignon. Raised in 72% new French oak plus one-year-old barrels, this has a very well-defined and fresh bouquet that articulates the terroir with some style. It is completely different from the Pavie wines I tasted at the estate 10 to 15 years ago—more classical and sophisticated. The palate is medium-bodied with a clean and precise entry. It's lightly spiced with a subtle marine influence—shucked oyster shells and seaweed are embroidered through the black fruit. There's a dash of black pepper toward the finish that remains focused and feels long in the mouth. This is an excellent Pavie in the making.

Galloni om: Chateau Pavie 1er Grand Cru Classe A

The 2023 Pavie is fabulous. Rich, dense and explosive in the glass, it offers up generous dark red fruit, cedar, spice, pipe tobacco, menthol and mocha. The 2023 impresses with its notable density and sheer palate presence. Naturally, this needs time to be at its best, but it is already incredibly expressive. This is a superb vintage for Pavie.

Jane Anson om: Chateau Pavie 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Plus damson and black cherry fruits, rich and ripe but balanced by tomato leaf, pumice stone. This is intense and concentrated, skilfully constructed showing fragrant cumin and turmeric spice that lifts through the palate, opening to show black tea, blood orange, cocoa bean, mint leaf, totally delicious and speaks clearly of its limestone soils. Feels at the top of its game. Harvest September 18 to October 5, 72% new oak for ageing, Gerard Perse owner.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Pavie 1er Grand Cru Classe A

The Grand Vin 2023 Château Pavie is based on 51% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon that was brought up in 72% new oak. It's a more inward, serious effort that has a layered bouquet of ripe red and black fruits, spicy oak, spring flowers, and smoke tobacco. This carries to a full-bodied 2023 revealing a beautiful sense of minerality, ample mid-palate depth, and a gorgeous finish. It shows the more elegant, vibrant style of the vintage while still being classic Pavie. If anything, it reminds me slightly of the château's 2001.
