Parker about Château Pavie 2015
In 2015, the blend is 60% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the wine was matured 80% in new French oak. Deep garnet-purple in colour, the 2015 Pavie is still sporting a bit of its oak to begin, giving way to a glorious nose of crushed black cherries, blackberries and mulberries plus hints of dried roses, stewed tea, unsmoked cigars and garrigue. The rich, concentrated, full-bodied palate delivers an incredible structure of very firm, very ripe tannins and a racy line of freshness cutting through the dense layers of perfumed black fruits and savory notions, finishing with epic length.

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.
