Red wine dry
The way Château Pavie is fermented depends on the vintage. It is kept on the skins for three weeks in 20 temperature-controlled wooden vats. Malolactic fermentation in barrel. The wine is aged, depending on the vintages in 70% to 100% new oak, for 18 - 32 months.
Serve at 16-18 °C with classic meat dishes.
This is a perfumed ripe wine, packed with generous tannins that still give a style and elegance that is a remove from the older overripe style of Pavie. It is balanced, complex and with great potential. The wood and the tannins are in harmony with the black fruits. With its structure, it will certainly age well. Drink from 2027.
Today Château Pavie is owned by Gerard Perez, who bought the Chateau in 1998, rebuilding and reforming the cellar and winery building.

The vineyards cover 37 hectares, the average age of the vines - about 45 years. Terroir is different in nature. Some vineyards, located 85 meters above the Dordogne River, based on the typical clay-limestone soils with rocky subsoil.
