2023 Aromes de Pavie Pre-Arrival Offer

Other Reviews....
This is really minerally with salt and dark fruits, such as blackberries and boysenberries. Medium to full body. Layered with fine tannins. Upgrade in quality here. Best ever second wine from Pavie.

The 2023 Aromes De Pavie always comes from the upper plateau and is based on equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Rocking black raspberries, spicy dark cherries, chocolate, graphite, and hints of spicy oak all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a deep, layered, elegant, yet concentrated style that shines in the vintage.

Fragrant and floral with some savoury herbal notes too as well as graphite and pencil lead - bright and expressive with lots of Cabernet Franc notes. Supple and bouncy, gorgeous tannins, present and chalky - really filling the mouth but they have a lovely thick texture with a pristine clarity of juicy, almost sweet and chalky blue and red berry fruit underneath. Hint of mint on the finish, ending long and lifted. Really carefully worked, complete and calm. Feels quite effortless and will be delicious when it’s ready to drink. Nice balance overall with structure, acidity, fruit and freshness. Ageing 18 months, 50% new oak, 50% one year. Drink 2027 - 2039.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter

Black cherries, blackberries, licorice, Asian spice, dark chocolate, and a hint of smoke fill the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is equally dark, with layers of dark, juicy berries, licorice, vibrance, and length, with a chalky endnote in the long finish. Aromes de Pavie is no longer the second wine of Pavie. All of the fruit comes from a specific 11-hectare parcel, so it should be looked at as its own brand. It is interesting to note that all of the vines are old, averaging 53 years of age. The wine blends 50% Merlot with 50% Cabernet Franc. 14.51 ABV%, 3.63 pH. Drink from 2027-2040.
