| Description: | Wine Advocate 95 points - Gerard Perse's 2015 Pavie-Decesse is just as compelling from bottle as it was from barrel, if not more so. Lifted, gracious and super-refined, the 2015 captures the richness of the year with the support of cool, mineral-driven notes from the calcaire-rich soils. Super-ripe red cherry, blood orange, rose petal and mint are some of the many notes that are woven together. In 2015, Pavie-Decesse is a wine of pure and total class. Don't miss it!. Located at the top of the plateau inside of Pavie and planted to 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Pavie Decesse is a vintage blend that reflects the vineyard plantings precisely, and it has been aged in 100% new French oak barrels. Very deep garnet-purple colored, it kicks off with exuberant crushed black currants, blackberries and black forest cake notes with hints of potpourri, Indian spices, mossy bark and Sichuan pepper. The full-bodied palate reveals wonderful energy and intensity, supported by firm, grainy tannins and impressive tension, which takes the electric fruit to a very long finish. Top 100 French Wines Of 2018 #54 - Plums, berries, flowers, wet earth and rose petals. Full-bodied, deep and rich, especially on the center palate. Super silky tannins. Great length and texture. Goes on for minutes. Try in 2023. The 2015 Chateau Pavie Decesse is another blockbuster from the Perse team, and it's not far off the straight Pavie release, although this cuvee always shows slightly more elegance and freshness as well as obvious minerality. Sensational notes of creme de cassis, black cherries, white truffle, white flowers, and incense notes all emerge from this full-bodied, saturated purple (it's almost blue-colored), powerful wine. It's another wine that has the upfront, voluptuous style of the vintage yet backs it up with sensational concentration, building tannins, remarkable purity, and a huge finish. It's an incredible wine that needs 5-10 years of bottle age and will keep for another 3 decades. The 2015 Pavie-Decesse is a blend of 90% Merlot and10% Cabernet Franc matured entirely in new oak. The nose reveals black cherries, creme de cassis, blood orange and almost honeyed aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannin, a modest level of acidity, fine grained with a spicy finish that lingers with a peppery aftertaste. |
