Merchant's description

Château Pavie 1982 is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé blend composed of 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from a legendary year for Bordeaux. This bottling represents the estate`s pre-modern era under the Valette family, characterised by a more traditional, less extracted style than the post-1998 wines. On the palate, the 1982 displays a tertiary complexity of cedar, truffle and sweet red fruit, supported by a resolved yet firm structural spine. Despite the heat of the vintage, the wine retains a remarkable freshness that has allowed it to age with immense grace over four decades.
