    Maturity:
    Drink
    ABV:
    13%
    89+/100
    Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
    Deep red-ruby. Currant, mocha, game, coffee and smoky oak on the nose. Silky-smooth and sweet on entry, then less expressive in the mouth, and not currently showing much complexity. Today the tannins have the upper hand, but the wine's concentration and structure suggest it will harmonize with five to seven years of bottle aging.

    Château Pavie Decesse

    Although its reputation is somewhat overshadowed by that of Chateau Pavie, a Premier Grand Cru Classe, Chateau Pavie-Decesse’s vines, located on top of Saint Emilion’s limestone plateau, actually look down on those of the more famous estate. Wine is made there with the same care as at Pavie, which it borders, and with which it shared a very similar terroir. Both properties were previously owned by the Valet family until they were purchased by Gérard Perse, owner of Château Monbousquet, in 1997.
