CRITIC REVIEWS
Jane Anson
Balanced, sleek and poised, plenty of character, a real push and pull, it expands and contracts, the oak is well masked and there is a sense of energy. This is an enjoyable wine, easy to recommend, but I think this may be the first vintage where I have thought that its sibling Pavie is a clear step up. 80% new oak, 3.53pH, from up on the limestone plateau. A yield of 17hl/ha.

The 2020 Pavie Decesse has a deep garnet-purple color. It swans out with graceful notes of Morello cherries, mulberries, and fresh blackberries, followed by suggestions of red roses, star anise, mossy tree bark, and crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate is laden with expressive black fruit and floral layers, supported by wonderfully fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and chalky. Gorgeous.
