First Growth A since 2012 (Premier Grand Cru Classe A). Classified as Premier Grand Cru Classe B from 1954 to 2012.
Expert tasting note: (2011 vintage) "Inky, opaque, purple/red colour. Intense rich aromas of high-ripeness red and black-fruit with notes of meat & new oak. The palate has good fresh acidity. The wine has warming alcohol & lots of intense drying tannins that make the dark, intense, black-fruit seem quite savoury. A huge wine that could arguably be regarded as over-extracted. Considering its vast proportions and high ripeness it has surprisingly good balance." - 4/12 DCAMW

The 2011 Pavie is deep garnet in color. It slowly emerges from the glass with notes of cast-iron pan, black olives, garrigue, and damp soil giving way to a core of juicy blackcurrants, prunes, and black truffles. The full-bodied palate is very tightly wound with bright black fruits and ferrous sparks, supported by firm, fine-grained tannins and beautiful tension, finishing long and minerally.

Tasted: May 2022
Deep and rather sweet nose of damson plum and amarena cherry with a whiff of vanilla. Rich and succulent palate that’s quite full-bodied for this vintage, the generous fine tannins giving the bold and long finish a wonderful plush feel. Drink or hold. Château Quintus vertical tasting. SP.

Tasted: Aug 2014
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, guter Farbkern, violette Reflexe, zarter Wasserrand. Mit feiner Kräuterwürze unterlegt schwarze Beerenfrucht, Nuancen von Kirschen, Brombeeren und Lakritze, feine Nuancen von kandierten Orangenzesten. Komplex, schwarzbeerig, sehr präsente, noch fordernde Tannine, schokoladig, zeigt große Länge, ein Vin de Garde, erst in einem Jahrzehnt geht es hiermit richtig los.

90-92. Barrel sample. Here is a ripe and juicy wine that pushes forward with delicious blackberry fruits. There is a tense edge of acidity that then brings out denser tannins, but juiciness characterizes this wine.

Tasted: Apr 2011
EN PRIMEUR – Intense colour with crimson highlights. Profound nose of ripe cherry with noticeable oak in the background. Concentrated palate showing abundant stuffing framed by power. A virile, robust wine revealing extraction and still marked by oak. The potential is there.

2011 Vintage Saved: 29-Jul-2022
Inky, opaque, purple/red colour. Intense rich aromas of high-ripeness red and black-fruit with notes of meat & new oak. The palate has good fresh acidity. The wine has warming alcohol & lots of intense drying tannins that make the dark, intense, black-fruit seem quite savoury. A huge wine that could arguably be regarded as over-extracted. Considering its vast proportions and high ripeness it has surprisingly good balance. 4/12 DCAMW
