2021 Pavie

Perse Latitudes After a first life in retail marketing, Gérard Perse decided in the 90's to satisfy his passion for wine. His future will be written in Saint-Emilion, his favorite place. He acquired the châteaux Pavie, 1er grand cru classé "A" of Saint-Emilion, Pavie-Decesse, Monbousquet, grands crus classés of Saint-Emilion and then Bellevue-Mondotte, still in Saint-Emilion, and Clos Lunelles in Castillon, Côtes de Bordeaux. Because wine is enhanced both by the location and the dishes associated with it, the Perse family bought the Hostellerie de Plaisance, a mecca of gastronomy and lifestyle, which later became the Hotel de Pavie and its double michelin-starred restaurant, the Table de Pavie . Since 2020, the collaboration with Yannick Alleno, a leader of French gastronomy, symbolizes a new dynamic and the great ambition carried by the family. The 2021 vintage, a show jumping for experienced rider Control of pace, lenght of stride and the trajectory necessary to guarantee a clear round.. the 2021 growing season often felt like taking part in a show jumping event. While anticipation and flexibility were essential factors, knowledge and experience in the vineyard were required to get through this vine cycle's tricky climatic episodes of this vintage. Just like the rider who trains and prepares his mount for a jumping event, it is also the result of precise and regular work carried out over time by loyal and passionate teams. Château Pavie, "Saint-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé A" The wine history of Château Pavie goes back to the 4th century. The estate experienced a renaissance in 1998 when the Perse family acquired it. From then on, Gérard Perse raised the estate to the highest summits of the appellation, symbolized in 2012 by its promotion to Premier Grand Cru Classé A. The 37-hectare vineyard is characterized by a great diversity of terroirs between the "limestone plateau" of Saint-Emilion, located at about 85 meters from the level of the Dordogne, and the "middle of the hill" located at about 55 meters from the level of the Dordogne. This exceptional terroir expresses itself wonderfully in the wines, giving them elegance and finesse, freshness and purity. 2021 is a very beautiful example of this.
