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.

This opens up on your palate like a butterfly. It takes your breath away. Purity of blackberry, raspberry and black cherry. Lavender. Very, very impressive. Full and chewy with tight and polished tannins that go on and on. Energetic and structured. Crisp and vivid. Superb finish. Better after 2029 but a joy to taste.
Pure perfection in red wine, the 2020 Château Pavie checks in as 50% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, all raised in 75% new French oak. Absolutely incredible in every way, it has a sensational bouquet of crème de cassis, smoked tobacco, chocolaty oak, graphite, white truffle, and hints of flowers. Pure, full-bodied, and concentrated, with perfect integration of its fruit, oak, and tannins, it's one of those wines that needs to be tasted to be believed. Hats off to the Perse team for not following trends and for continuing to make a truly Grand Vin that offers a rare mix of power and elegance. Give bottles just 4-5 years and enjoy over the following three decades.
With a hue so dark, it is impossible to see through, the wine grabs your senses with its aromatic profile consisting of flowers, black plums, blackberries, black cherries, crushed rocks, licorice, smoke, blue fruits, espresso, mocha and oceanic fragrances. The wine is full-bodied, concentrated, mouth-coating and palate-staining, as well as vibrant, pure and intense. The practically seamless, opulent finish with its layers of sensuous, salty fruits stick with you for close to 60 seconds. This is one of the great vintages of Pavie! Drink from 2026-2060.
