CHATEAU PAVIE 2010

Château Pavie 2010

Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé (A), Bordeaux, France

Château Pavie 2010 is a benchmark vintage from this iconic estate, combining extraordinary power with precision, structure, and remarkable aging potential.

The Wine

Sourced from Pavie’s exceptional limestone plateau and clay-rich slopes, this cuvée is predominantly Merlot, supported by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2010 vintage is renowned for its balance, freshness, and concentration, producing wines of great intensity and longevity.

Aged in a high proportion of new French oak, the wine develops depth, complexity, and finely integrated tannins, reflecting the estate’s meticulous approach to winemaking.

Tasting Notes

The nose is deep and complex, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, layered with notes of graphite, violets, cedar, and subtle spice.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with a dense core of dark fruit, firm yet polished tannins, and vibrant acidity providing balance and lift. Hints of cocoa, licorice, and mineral undertones add further complexity.

The finish is long, powerful, and precise, with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and finely structured tannins.
