| Description: | 100 Jd / 100 Fs / 99 Wci / 99 Wa / 99 JS / 98 Ws / 97 Vm / 96 De / 19 Jr. #29 James Suckling's Top 100 Wines of France 2021. One of the wines of the vintage is the 2018 Château Pavie, and Gérard Perse continues to produce one of the greatest wines in the world, in just about every vintage. Based on 60% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 shows the slightly more restrained style of the estate today yet still brings classic Pavie richness, depth, and grandeur. Revealing a deep purple color as well as a sensational bouquet of crème de cassis, damp earth, tobacco, chalk, and lead pencil shavings, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, incredible purity, a dense, concentrated mid-palate, and a liqueur of rocks-like sense of minerality on the blockbuster finish. There's a backward, inward style here that actually reminds me of the 2000. This is another magical, probably immortal wine from this terroir that marries power with elegance perfectly. Don't miss it!-Jeb Dunnuck Dark ruby, purple reflections, subtle ochre brightening on the rim. Notes of oak, nougat, herbal spice and black berry fruit. Full-bodied, energetic, complex, well-integrated, supporting tannins, mineral, pronounced fruit core, salty and grippy, great length and enormous ageing potential. Suggestive red wine that should age in peace for a few more years.-Peter Moser, Falstaff |
