Chateau Pavie 2004

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (95)

A brilliant effort from proprietors Chantal and Gerard Perse, Pavie’s 2004 (7,050 cases) exhibits an inky/ruby/purple color, a surprisingly soft, forward style for this hallowed terroir, full-bodied, and concentrated creme de cassis flavors intermixed with cherries, truffles, and subtle smoky wood notes. Beautifully-textured as well as expansive, this may be the most developed and forward Pavie made by Perse since his acquisition of the property in 1998. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2025+.

Winespectator (91)

Intense aromas of mineral, mint and blackberry follow through to a full-bodied palate, with chewy yet velvety tannins and a long finish. Very firm. I would like just a bit more midpalate. Very extracted, but should come around. Fresh acidity.
