2025 Chateau Pavie – St. Emilion (750ml) [Bordeaux Future ETA 2028]

Perse Latitudes

In the 1990s, Gérard Perse left the world of mass retail to pursue his passion for wine. In Saint-Émilion, he acquired Château Pavie, Château Monbousquet and Clos Lunelles, before transforming the former Hostellerie de Plaisance into Hôtel de Pavie, home to the two-Michelin-starred La Table de Pavie, led in collaboration with Yannick Alléno.

Château Pavie, Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé A

Acquired by the Perse family in 1998, Château Pavie underwent a remarkable renaissance. Gérard Perse elevated this historic estate, whose origins date back to the 4th century, to the very summit of Saint-Émilion, culminating in its promotion to Premier Grand Cru Classé A in 2012. Set between limestone plateau and mid-slope vineyards, Pavie draws its distinctive identity from a mosaic of exceptional terroirs, crafting precise, elegant wines with remarkable freshness and vibrancy.

The 2025 vintage :

The 2025 vintage at Château Pavie reflects a hot, dry growing season, marked by challenging climatic episodes yet conducive to excellent vine health. Thanks to the terroir’s natural capacity for regulation and precise management of ripeness, the wine achieves a rare balance between richness, concentration, tension and finesse. For the first time as the majority variety, Cabernet Franc plays a central role in the wine’s harmony, bringing both intensity and freshness. This vintage continues the work initiated by Gérard Perse in pursuit of purity and precision.
