Château Pavie Decesse - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru - Red - 2007 :

 

The Pedigree of Pavie Decesse: A Right Bank Icon

Château Pavie Decesse is a distinguished Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, benefiting from a prime location on the famed limestone plateau-a terroir renowned for yielding Merlot of exceptional concentration and elegance. Under the visionary ownership of Gérard Perse, this estate employs rigorous vineyard practices and 100% new French oak aging, positioning it firmly among the most luxurious and sought-after wines of Bordeaux's Right Bank.

Tasting Notes: Power and Polish

Expect a wine of immense depth, displaying a nearly opaque, dark garnet hue. The bouquet is lavish, offering potent aromas of dark, ripe plums, black cherry, and cassis, underscored by complexities of cedar, espresso, and forest floor. The structure is formidable-full-bodied, with rich, concentrated fruit. The tannins are fine-grained and persistent, demonstrating the wine’s incredible longevity and aging capacity. This is claret for the long haul.

Serving Suggestions

To fully appreciate its complexity, particularly in its youth, we advise a significant period of decanting (2-4 hours). This will allow the wine to breathe and soften its powerful structure.

• Serving Temperature: 17°C.
• Pairing Excellence: Perfect for a formal dinner, complementing game and richly flavored red meats.
