Pavie 2000 1500ml

Château Pavie spreads across limestone slopes and plateau just southeast of the town of Saint-Émilion, and since Gérard Perse acquired it in 1998 it has become one of Bordeaux's most powerful wines, promoted to Premier Grand Cru Classé A in 2012. The 2000 is a triumph, earning perfect 100-point scores from Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate and The Wine Independent. Dunnuck called it "a powerhouse of a wine that does everything right," citing blackcurrant, chocolatey dark berries, truffle, tobacco and spice on a full-bodied, concentrated yet weightless palate. Offered in magnum, it is in the early part of a long drinking window and has two decades or more ahead.
