The 2010 Château Pavie is straight-up magical, and while it matches the 2000, 2005, 2009, and 2015, it has a style all its own. (It’s probably most similar to the 2005, yet even more tannic and backward.) Checking in as...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 2015

What fun, excitement and joy it will be to compare the four perfect wines Perse has made in 2005, 2009, 2010 and, of course, the 2000, in 25 or so years. This wine is truly profound Bordeaux. Everything is in place –...

The Wine Independent, December 2023

Opaque garnet-black in color, the 2010 wows as it erupts from the glass with explosive notes of plum preserves, baked cherries, and creme de cassis leading to hints of sandalwood, tree bark, menthol, and Chinese five...

This is really exceptional with such freshness, firmness and focus. Full body, incredibly tight tannins and a lengthy finish. Such power and elegance at the same time. The beginning of a new era of Pavie.

Decanter, January 2020

This is accomplished and enjoyable, starting to come into its own at ten years old, and very much infused with the limestone impact of its soils. One of my favourite Pavies that scrapes along the palate in that way that...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, November 2021

This is developing in all the right ways. Full-bodied, rich, opulent, and voluptuous, as well as fresh, mineralistic, long, complex, and palate-staining, the wine offers incredible levels of intensity along with depth...

Wine Spectator, January 2017

A brick house, still rather tight, with loads of apple wood and juniper flavors holding the core of red currant, blackberry and bitter plum fruit in check. Offers ample grip through the finish, with a mouthwatering chalk...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, March 2011

The Chateau Pavie 2010 is a blend of 70% Merlot 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon cropped at 28hl/ha. There is just a slight touch of over-ripeness on the fig tinged nose. Again its is very dense and opulent...

Wine Enthusiast, June 2011

(91-93 points) This feels very juicy, the fruit almost over-ripe. There is a generous new world feel to it, very opulent, super-rich. Open black plum and damson fruits push through the dark, perfumed tannins. ROGER VOSS

The 2010 Pavie, a remarkable Bordeaux blend, is a bold testament to the prowess of French winemaking. The blend consists predominantly of Merlot at 70%, with 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in the esteemed Saint Emilion region of Bordeaux. The wine was produced by Pavie, a renowned winemaker celebrated for its careful crafting of rich and complex wines.

This 2010 Pavie is a delightful journey for the senses. It presents an exquisite, deep red color that hints at its intense character. On the nose, it offers an intriguing combination of ripe fig, blackcurrant, and blackberry, with subtle notes of kirsch and spice box. These elements develop into a rich palate, graced with an impressive structure and distinctive minerality. The finish is marked by dry tannins and a tantalizing purity that lingers, making it a truly unforgettable experience.

The wine is potent, boasting an alcohol content of 14.5%, and is sealed with a cork closure that ensures its impressive longevity. Its full-bodied nature is further highlighted by its opulence and freshness, making it a balanced blend that is both powerful and elegant.

The 2010 Pavie has received a chorus of acclaim from respected wine reviewers, with scores consistently above 90. It has been lauded for its depth, weight, energy, and complex palate, filled with dark fruits and refined tannins. The wine is still considered relatively young, with its true potential set to reveal itself after a few more years of aging.

This wine is an emblem of French viticulture's excellence and a testament to the winemaking prowess of Pavie. It is a wine that has rightfully earned its place in the cellars of discerning wine enthusiasts, promising a rewarding experience with each sip.
