Château Pavie, alongside Château Figeac, stands as one of the exclusive estates in Saint-Émilion designated Premier Grand Cru Classé A. The 1989 vintage has gracefully matured into a fully developed wine. Exhibiting a garnet hue, it is medium to full-bodied, displaying a balanced and smooth character. The black-fruited core is complemented by nuances of mushroom, tobacco, dusty rose, and subtle hints of milk chocolate. Soft, fine tannins contribute to an elegant texture that lingers on the moderate finish.
