Bursting from the revered terroirs of Saint-Emilion in 2016, the Château Pavie Grand Cru is a paragon of Bordeaux excellence. With an array of commendable scores, including perfect 100s from Wine Advocate and Tasting Wine International, this vintage is nothing short of a virtuoso performance. On the palate, it serenades with a complex symphony of blackberry and plum, punctuated by intriguing notes of truffle and cocoa. This wine is a joy to savor on its own, yet its robust structure and deep, velvety tannins make it an ideal partner for a succulent rack of lamb or a hearty beef stew. Despite its original retail price of $650, this Château Pavie is a truly great value find, delivering a taste experience that far surpasses its peers.
