jebdunnuck.com, October 2018

Pure perfection in a glass and unquestionably one of the great vintages for this cuvée, the 2015 Pavie is a blend of 60% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon that was brought up in 80% new French...

Layers of fruit just keep on coming. The fruit is intense, sweet, fresh and powerful, with purity, length and complexity. The velvet texture coats your mouth. There are no hard edges from start to finish. The finish lasts...

Gigantic nose of very ripe black fruit. Enveloping richness, but the abundant fine tannins make this feel remarkably elegant and decisively dry for the richness. Very long and firm finish that has extraordinary energy and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2018

In 2015, the blend is 60% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the wine was matured 80% in new French oak. Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Pavie is still sporting a bit of its oak to begin...

Decanter, December 2017

Deep and rich in both colour and taste, this is a monument to the fine wine triumvirate of tannins, fruit and acidity. It's extremely muscular, with layers of black fruits, graphite and pencil shavings, as well as a...

Wine Enthusiast, April 2018

Although this wine is ripe, it is the fruit that sings. Firm and rich, the tannins support the wonderful fruitiness. Its perfumed Cabernets give the wine great presence as well as freshness. It is ready for long aging...

Vinous, July 2019

The 2015 Pavie has a high-toned, iodine-tinged bouquet with veins of blue fruit complementing the black cherry and boysenberry aromas. This is one of the more opulent, hedonistic 2015s. The glycerin-rich, medium-bodied...

With a deep garnet-purple color, the 2015 Pavie is visually stunning, enticing wine enthusiasts to indulge in its complexity.

On the nose, this wine offers an intoxicating bouquet of crushed black cherries, blackberries, and mulberries, accompanied by hints of dried roses, stewed tea, unsmoked cigars, and garrigue. The aromas are rich and concentrated, inviting you to explore the layers of fruit that lie within.

The velvet texture caresses your mouth, while the integrated tannins provide structure and balance.
