Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Pavie 1er Grand Cru Classe A 2018

94–97
/100

Lobenberg: Fra Côte Pavie, de sydlige skråninger af St Emilion på ren kalksten. Vanvittigt velduftende, intense sorte kirsebær, morbær, lidt hyldebær, men også eukalyptus og mynte. En meget idiosynkratisk næse, men absolut spændende. En meget fyldig mund, intens, eukalyptus, trækul, mynte, hyldebær, sorte kirsebær, morbær, men også utroligt meget træ, masser af bitterstoffer fra frøene, skarpt ekstraheret. Det er virkelig en skam, 2016 var på sådan en god vej, de overdrev det ikke med ekstraktionen og træet, i 2016 var Pavie en potentiel 100-point vin. Det kunne 2018 også have været, men den blev desværre behandlet for brutalt. 94-97/100

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

One of the wines of the vintage is the 2018 Château Pavie, and Gérard Perse continues to produce one of the greatest wines in the world, in just about every vintage. Based on 60% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 shows the slightly more restrained style of the estate today yet still brings classic Pavie richness, depth, and grandeur. Revealing a deep purple color as well as a sensational bouquet of crème de cassis, damp earth, tobacco, chalk, and lead pencil shavings, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, incredible purity, a dense, concentrated mid-palate, and a liqueur of rocks-like sense of minerality on the blockbuster finish. There's a backward, inward style here that actually reminds me of the 2000. This is another magical, probably immortal wine from this terroir that marries power with elegance perfectly. Don't miss it! 1007100

Suckling om: Chateau Pavie 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Impressive aromas of pure, crushed blackberries and brambleberries with red and black licorice and black olives, as well as incense, following through to a full body with round, creamy tannins and lots of fruit. Yet, it’s tight and reserved at the finish. Needs three or four years to open and start showing its true character. Powerful and linear. Cellar-bound. Try after 2026. 99/100

Parker om: Chateau Pavie 1er Grand Cru Classe A

The 2018 Pavie is a blend of 60% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine has a 3.58 pH and 14.48% alcohol. Very deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts from the glass with a fabulously expressive nose of crème de cassis, baked plums and blueberry preserves, leading to an impressive array of nuances, featuring notions of dark chocolate, camphor, licorice, rose petals and fertile loam, plus hints of crushed rocks and iron ore. The rich, full-bodied palate offers layer upon layer of opulent black and blue fruits with loads of exotic spice sparks and pretty floral and mineral accents, supported by firm, super plush tannins and remarkable tension, finishing with epic length and depth. This could only be Pavie. It makes for a seductively stylish glass now, but patience will be rewarded if it is afforded 5-7 years in bottle, at least, then drink it over the next 30+ years. 99/100

Galloni om: Chateau Pavie 1er Grand Cru Classe A

Pavie is positively striking in 2018. Rich and sumptuous to the core, the 2017 possesses stunning depth and impeccable overall balance. Dark cherry, mocha, plum, spice, new leather and licorice all build as the 2018 shows its allure. Silky, polished tannins round out the finish. This is a stellar showing from the Perse family. The 2018 is absolutely gorgeous. 97/100
