Château Pavie har igennem de seneste årtier gennemgået en kolossal udvikling. Slottet blev i 1998 overtaget af Gérard Perse, som dermed blev en af de største jordbesiddere i hele appellationen. Gérard Perse ejer bl.a. de to Grand Cru Classé slotte Chateau Pavie-Decesse og Chateau Monbousquet samt tre ejendomme i Côtes de Castillon.
Gérard Perse har skabt sin formue i detailbranchen, og en stor del af de mange penge der kom fra salget af en stor supermarkedskæde, er blevet investeret i Château Pavie. Flere af vinmarkerne på Pavie er blevet genplantet, og alle produktionsfaciliteter er blevet udskiftet eller renoveret. Der er blevet investeret i stor stil. Og resultaterne er mærkbare. Belønningen kom i 2012, hvor slottet blev forfremmet fra Premier Grand Cru Classé B til én af kun fire ejendomme i klassifikationen Premier Grand Cru Classé A.
Château Pavies andengæring foregår på helt nye egefade, hvorefter vinen lagres 18-24 måneder på disse fade. Resultatet er en kraftig og meget koncentreret vin.

The 2016 Pavie, matured in 80% new oak, has a thrilling bouquet of layers of small black cherries, boysenberry, fig and a hint of licorice, all very well defined; the oak is nicely integrated. The medium-bodied palate offers ripe, sappy black fruit, grippy tannin, a smooth texture and crisp acidity toward the finish. This is a seamless Pavie, but backward compared to its peers, and it needs several years in bottle before it even entertains the prospect of drinking pleasure.
Spectacular aromas of crushed berries, such as blueberries and raspberries. Fresh flowers with hints of sandalwood. Exotic. Saturated palate of so much fruit, yet remains agile and energetic. Great length and texture. Fills your mouth. This needs time, but a classic. Twin brother of the perfect 2015.
The 2016 Pavie a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Very deep purple-black in color, it needs a little coaxing to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal a fragrant perfume of violets, chocolate-covered cherries, crushed blueberries and eucalyptus over a core of preserved plums, kirsch, black raspberries and crème de cassis plus hints of licorice and chargrilled meat. Full-bodied and built like a brick house, it has a solid foundation of firm, super ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness interknit with the black fruit preserves and minerally layers, finishing very long and very decadent. Superb!
