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.

A very precise Pavie, this has a compacted palate of blue fruit as well as raspberries and hints of sandalwood. Medium-bodied with a tight, linear finish. Racy and fresh at the end. A blend of 51% merlot, 32% cabernet franc and 17% cabernet sauvignon.
Deep garnet-purple colored. Comes barreling out with ready-to-go notes of red currant jelly, fresh black plums, and boysenberries, plus suggestions of tilled soil, cardamom, black olives, and lavender oil. Medium-bodied, the palate is tightly wound with intense red and black berry layers, supported by firm, fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and minerally. Pure energy.
Floral aromatics and dark fruits with liquorice, cola and clove aspects - almost seductive. Smooth and vibrant, this is assured despite being quite tight and a touch austere at this point. You can feel the tension and the direction but you can't fault the detail and the definition. Finessed tannins, slick and suave with ripe fruit but at the moment this is all in one line, direct and a little strict. Amazingly perfumed. Less accessible now with real bite and tang of limestone, liquorice and clove, although this carries the Pavie signature and is built for the long haul. I really like the work they're doing here and this is a success in 2024. A yield of 24.07hl/ha. Ageing 65% new oak, 35% one fill. Optical sorting. 3.69pH.
