Chateau Pavie Saint Emilion Grand Cru Aromes de Pavie 2022

Aromes de Pavie 2022 is the elegant second wine of Château Pavie, offering a refined Saint-Émilion expression with impressive depth and accessibility. Crafted from Merlot-led Bordeaux varieties and carrying the pedigree of one of the Right Bank’s most respected estates, it brings a taste of Grand Cru character in a more approachable style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby-purple color with a polished, youthful sheen. The nose is expressive and layered, with ripe black cherry, plum, cassis, violets, cedar, and a touch of graphite and spice from oak influence. On the palate, the wine is supple yet concentrated, with generous Merlot fruit supported by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon for structure and freshness. Expect velvety tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, refined finish that hints at dark fruit, cocoa, and mineral nuance. While enjoyable relatively early, it also has the backbone to develop gracefully over several years.

Production
Produced at Château Pavie in Saint-Émilion, Aromes de Pavie draws on the limestone and clay-limestone terroirs that help give Right Bank Bordeaux its signature blend of richness and tension. The vineyard work is typically meticulous, with careful parcel selection and harvesting aimed at preserving purity and ripeness. Vinification focuses on extracting depth and texture while maintaining freshness, followed by élevage in oak to enhance complexity and polish.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast duck, lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, mushroom dishes, and hard aged cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and if possible, decant for 30–60 minutes to allow the aromatics to open and the tannins to soften.

Producer
Château Pavie is one of Saint-Émilion’s most prestigious estates, long recognized for producing powerful, age-worthy wines from a prime hillside site. Its reputation has grown significantly in modern times, and it is regarded as a benchmark producer on the Right Bank. Aromes de Pavie reflects that tradition, offering a more accessible interpretation of the château’s style while still showcasing its quality and ambition.
