Beskrivelse
  • Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

    This wine, with its opaque purple color and great density and richness is a connoisseur’s dream. Forget it for 5-8 years and drink it over the following three decades.

    95/100
  • Vinous

    Radiant and sexy in the glass, the 2012 Pavie-Decesse is the most gracious of the three top wines in Gérard Perse's lineup. Dark red cherry, plum, smoke, menthol and licorice are some of the notes that fused together in this beautifully focused, layered wine. Hints of violet and lavender add the closing shades of nuance. Silky tannins give the Pavie-Decesse plenty of early appeal, but there is also more than enough depth for the 2012 to drink well for a number of years.

Château Pavie Decesse

Château Pavie-Decesse ligger højt på Saint-Émilions kalkstensplateau og har siden 1997 været ejet af Gérard Perse, der også står bag Château Pavie. Slottet var oprindeligt en del af Pavie-ejendommen, men blev i slutningen af 1800-tallet udskilt som et selvstændigt domæne af Ferdinand Bouffard. I dag tilhører det den eksklusive kreds af Saint-Émilions mest anerkendte Grand Crus Classés.

Vinmarkerne – blot 3,65 hektar – ligger samlet i 85 meters højde og hviler på et lag af ler og kalksten oven på den karakteristiske kalksten à astéries. Denne undergrund giver vinstokkene en perfekt balance mellem dræning og fugtighed, hvilket bidrager til vinens dybe struktur og forfinede friskhed. Arbejdet i marken udføres med største omhu: grøn høst, løvfjernelse på begge sider af rækkerne og manuel høst med streng sortering.

Vinen består overvejende af Merlot (90 %), som giver krop og fylde, mens Cabernet Franc (10 %) tilfører spændstighed, aromatisk kompleksitet og elegance. Vinifikationen foregår i små temperaturstyrede trækar, efterfulgt af malolaktisk gæring i egetræsfade. Pavie-Decesse lagres derefter 18–24 måneder på nye franske fade, uden klaring eller filtrering, for at bevare vinens autenticitet og tekstur.

Fakta om ejendommen

 

 

95/100

from Chantal and Gérard Perse, this St.-Emilion is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. It is interesting that the small vineyard of 8.5 acres (which I have walked) sits above Pavie on a steep, pure limestone outcrop. This is the quintessential limestone-based wine, with a liquor of powdered chalk mixed with cassis and blackberry. Very concentrated (almost painfully so), this highly extracted, full-bodied, massive, rich and powerful wine needs cellaring. Everything is present for a great future. This is one of the superstars of the vintage. Unfortunately, production of Pavis Decesse is minuscule, as a large section of the vineyard was incorporated into Pavie. This wine, with its opaque purple color and great density and richness is a connoisseur’s dream. Forget it for 5-8 years and drink it over the following three decades. (95+)

The 2012 is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, from vines that are 50 years old on average
