Description
Although Pavie Decesses's reputation exists in the shadow of its glorious older sibling, topography has nonetheless set it above Château Pavie, situated as it is on Saint-Emilion's limestone plateau. Purchased by Gérard Perse in 1997 (one year before before he bought Château Pavie), Pavie-Decesse is one of the "happy few" Saint-Emilion Grands Crus Classés.
Enjoying the same attention as Château Pavie, whose terroir it essentially shares, Pavie-Decesse achieves a consistency of quality which is the definition of a Great Growth.

Tasting
Its deep violet shows a good extraction of color from the grapes.
The wine is aromatically exuberant and powerful, with notes of black fruit liqueur and black fruit jelly; it's complex and elaborate, combining a notably fine-quality oak toast with the fruit's ripeness.
The first impression in the mouth is clean and straightforward, evolving to focus on the wine's concentration, density and the supple tannins that are ripe and expressive on the mid-palate. The finish brings added depth with a vibrantly long intensity that is flavorful and complex, giving expression to the wine's exceptional terroir.
