Lot Details
Provenance: As close to perfect as possible. Purchased by our vendor en Primeur and stored in a purpose build temperature and humidity controlled cellar ever since. First Growth A since 2012 (Premier Grand Cru Classe A). Classified as Premier Grand Cru Classe B from 1954 to 2012. Vineyard notes: "Geological characteristics Château Pavie has diverse terroirs: - Terroir typical of the Saint-Emilion limestone plateau composed of clay-limestone soil on an asteriated limestone subsoil. Located at an altitude of approximately 85 meters above the Dordogne River. - Terroir called « milieu de côte » (middle of the slope) located approximately 55 meters above the Dordogne and composed of very fine brown limestone." https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/pavie+st+emilion+grand+cru+bordeaux+france/1999?srsltid=AfmBOoqIH3iBQncOuqp0Lk_OiOB0Gxr6O4G4ipJSYlL6CG7MJ4y0ABg1# Rather closed in their youth, they need seven or eight years in the cellar before they develop their characteristic powerful bouquet with notes of cherries, blueberries, blackberries, prunes, roasted coffee and oak. After a lively attack on the palate, with powerful but very refined tannins, the wines present exceptional richness and magnificent length. https://www.idealwine.com/en/wine-prices/527-1999-Bottle-Bordeaux-Saint-Emilion-Grand-Cru-Chateau-Pavie-red
