| Awards | "Big wine. The aromas are very opulent with blackberries, dark plums, ink and chocolate. It's full-bodied and very rich with plenty of fruit yet the tannins are fine and polished. This is a powerful and flavorful wine. Loads going on. This was the first year that included wines of Pavie-Decesse and Bellevue in the blend. Needs five years to come around." - James Suckling "Black label to commemorate ten years of being a Premier Grand Cru Classé 'A', and 25 vintages under Gerard Perse. This vintage is the first which includes fruit formerly used for Pavie Decesse and Bellevue Mondotte. 52% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 18 months in French oak (75% new). Thick, rich blackcurrant fruit on the nose. High but very fine tannins, as well as high acidic tension. Compact and dense. Despite the powdery tannin, there is a sense of silkiness here, and the core fruit has a clear ageing mandate. Strong tarry aftertaste. (RH)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2022 Pavie turned out beautifully. Although a touch reticent post-bottling, the 2022 impresses with its notable energy and vibrancy. Dark-toned fruit, leather, spice, menthol, licorice and gravel stain the palate. The 2022 offers tons of textural intensity but without the overt weight that was once such a signature here. I can't wait to see how it ages." - Vinous "This takes the showy fruit of the vintage and amplifies it, adding warm cocoa, melted licorice and roasted apple wood accents that fuel the core of boysenberry, plum and blackberry reduction flavors. Broad-shouldered in feel, with a deep well of fruit in reserve, this rumbles through the amply toasty finish. For the hedonist crowd. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2029 through 2045." - Wine Spectator "A mixture of dried herbs, blackcurrant leaf, blueberry, violets, vanilla and salty stones on the nose. Intense and complex, it’s upfront and mouth-filling with chewy, fleshy tannins but lifted by vibrant acidity. Controlled power, pure fruit focus, and a joyful, crunchy texture. Salty spice, liquorice, black chocolate, and clove add depth to the finish. A charming, structured wine, full of promise." - Decanter |
