Aromes de Pavie, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2021
CRITIC REVIEWS
Georgina Hindle
Lovely aromas on the nose - strawberry and black cherry with a soft sweet perfume. Nicely round and mouthfilling on the palate, the fruit has real presence - it’s definitely the main focus, crunchy with bite and a soft chew, rich and dark and intense yet also with tension and drive. It’s not expansive but rather driving from the start to the end in one line. It doesnt drop with power but there is a slight rustic touch with the spice/bitterness coming through giving the palate edges. Strong and sharp, defiant almost, characterful and determined. I think this will be very good in time. You really get the terroir expression which I love.

Coming from the same parcels every year since 2018 (its not a true second wine) and a blend of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Arômes De Pavie is terrific and has more than a touch of Pavie character in its spicy oak, darker, chocolaty fruits, and spicy aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, I love its texture, it has ripe, chalky tannins, good mid-palate depth, and a great finish. Its unquestionably an outstanding wine.
