Château Pavie 2010

Description

Saint-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé A The 2010 vintage was an exceptional year for the Bordeaux vineyards. The magnificent spring allowed the vines to flower evenly, presaging a quality harvest. In July, a drought set in that lasted until October, while the nights remained cool. This alternation of beautiful conditions allowed the different grape varieties to perfect their maturity and to obtain an exceptional aromatic potential. Blend of the 2010 vintage: 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The robe is a bewitching dark red color, with magnificent tiled reflections. The nose is intensely expressive, with notes of jammy black fruits, blueberry and blackcurrant, followed by truffle and peppery spices, and a floral bouquet of dried flowers. The attack is mellow, revealing a body of great depth, juicy, elegant and held by magnificent tannins. Very complex, it evolves on freshness and ripe fruit until a finish of infinite length and remarkable precision. The signature of a great Château Pavie. Food and wine pairing: Château Pavie 2010 will be perfect with roast beef with truffle sauce, a haunch of doe with morels, a rack of lamb confit, a slab of venison with truffles and chestnuts or a salmis of red-legged partridge. Enjoy it also with pressed and uncooked cheeses: cantal, old mimolette, morbier, saint-nectaire and tomme de Savoie. It can also be served with chocolate desserts, such as a black forest, Guillaume Mabilleau's Extra Hazelnut Tart or a praline dessert. Cellaring potential and tasting: Château Pavie 2010 is a great wine that can wait another 10 years in the cellar, reaching its peak between 2033 and 2036. However, it can be enjoyed now if it is properly prepared. To do so, take care to place the bottle the night before in the serving room at room temperature and to open it. Otherwise, open and decant the bottle at least 6 to 7 hours before tasting. The bottles will be kept in the cellar, protected from light, lying down, at an optimal hygrometric degree of 70%.
