Description
What kind of wine is it
Arômes de Pavie is a still red wine produced by Chateau Pavie in the prestigious Saint-Emilion Grand Cru area of Bordeaux. This refined blend is created from a combination of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Its sensory profile is full-bodied and complex, with an enveloping palate that pairs ideally with mature cheeses or succulent meats. Its structure enhances sophisticated dishes such as duck à l'orange.
Where does it come from
This wine originates in France, in Saint-Emilion, on a limestone plateau situated eighty-five metres above sea level. The vineyards are rooted in clay-limestone soil resting on a distinctive subsoil of asteriated limestone. This geological composition helps to give depth and definition to the palate. The interaction between these soils and the climate encourages optimal ripening of the grapes, ensuring a complex and territorial expression.
How is it produced
Vinification begins in wooden vats at a controlled temperature of twenty degrees, with a three-week maceration on the skins to extract colour and structure. Subsequently, malolactic fermentation takes place in oak barrels, a fundamental step to stabilise and soften the flavour profile. The process concludes with a lengthy maturation in new oak barrels for a period ranging from eighteen to thirty-two months, which defines its final elegance.
History and Curiosities
The excellence of Bordeaux is showcased in Arômes de Pavie 2022, a majestic Saint-Émilion AOC produced by Château Pavie. Born at an altitude of 85 metres on clay-limestone soil, this enveloping red harmoniously blends Merlot and Cabernet. The meticulous vinification and lengthy maturation in new oak, which lasts for 18-32 months, result in a sip of complex character, awarded 94 points by Decanter. Ideal for accompanying duck à l’orange, succulent meats and flavourful cheeses.
