Parker about Château Pavie 1982
The strongest Pavie in the eighties, this dark ruby-colored 1982 reveals aromas of strawberry jam intermixed with cherries, dried herbs, earth, and spice. Medium-bodied, with beautiful fruit flavors (particularly kirsch liqueur), this sweet, ripe, expansive Pavie has reached its apogee, where it should remain for 10-15 years.

Information about the winemaker:
The history of this winery dates back to Roman times, and it's fascinating to consider how many generations of winemakers have shaped this heritage. In the 19th century, the château experienced a rebirth under the leadership of Ferdinand Bouffard, who transformed it into a respected winemaking center. However, it was the Perse family, who took over the property in the 1950s, who initiated a remarkable transformation that led it to its current glory.
