Pavie Decesse - Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2012

Dans l'ombre portée de son glorieux aîné qu'il domine néanmoins de toute sa hauteur, situé sur le plateau calcaire de Saint-Emilion, le Château Pavie-Decesse, acheté par Gérard Perse en 1997, un an avant le Château Pavie, est l'un de ces « happy few » qui appartiennent au peloton de tête des Grands Crus Classé de Saint-Emilion. Traité avec les mêmes égards que son aîné dont il partage pour l'essentiel le terroir, Pavie-Decesse possède aujourd'hui, comme l'atteste la constance de sa production, tous les atouts d'un « Grand ». 

L'histoire du Château Pavie-Decesse est indissociable de celle du Château Pavie, dont l'origine viticole remonte au IVème siècle. Situé sur le plateau calcaire de Saint-Emilion, le premier fait en effet partie intégrante du second jusqu'à la fin du XIXème siècle, époque à laquelle Ferdinand Bouffard, propriétaire de Pavie depuis 1885, décide de regrouper en un vignoble autonome quelques parcelles qu'il baptise alors Pavie Decesse. A l'issue de la première guerre mondiale, Ferdinand Bouffard se voit contraint de vendre le vignoble à un certain Monsieur Marzelle sous l'administration duquel le château se voit décerner, lors du classement de 1954, le titre de Grand Cru Classé. En 1970, à la mort de Monsieur Marzelle, la famille Valette, déjà propriétaire du Château Pavie, se voit confier la gestion du vignoble du Château Pavie-Decesse, qu'il acquiert en 1990. Et c'est en 1997 que Gérard Perse prend possession du Château Pavie-Decesse.

L'ensemble de ces paramètres donne naissance à un vin riche et ample, charnu et complexe, doté d'une belle structure tannique et d'une excellente aptitude au vieillissement, très typique de la production du plateau. Si Pavie et Pavie Decesse - dans sa nouvelle configuration - constituent un vignoble d'un seul tenant, ils n'en demeurent pas moins des entités viticoles spécifiques, avec chacun un terroir aux caractéristiques bien définies. Pour sa part, Pavie Decesse tire son originalité de ce qu'il est intégralement situé sur le plateau calcaire de Saint-Emilion. Sur ces sols, qui contiennent aussi de l'argile, le merlot trouve une très belle expression. Le calcaire à astéries apporte beaucoup d'éléments de fraîcheur, avec des valeurs florales et minérales tandis que l'argile lui confère une belle tenue. Le vignoble, bien aéré et ventilé, est donc essentiellement planté de merlot - à 90% - le complément étant assuré par le cabernet franc. L'ensemble de ces paramètres donne naissance à un vin riche et ample, charnu et complexe, doté d'une belle structure tannique et d'une excellente aptitude au vieillissement, très typique de la production du plateau.

Radiant and sexy in the glass, the 2012 Pavie-Decesse is the most gracious of the three top wines in Gérard Perse's lineup. Dark red cherry, plum, smoke, menthol and licorice are some of the notes that fused together in this beautifully focused, layered wine. Hints of violet and lavender add the closing shades of nuance. Silky tannins give the Pavie-Decesse plenty of early appeal, but there is also more than enough depth for the 2012 to drink well for a number of years. The 2012 is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, from vines that are 50 years old on average.

from Chantal and Gérard Perse, this St.-Emilion is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. It is interesting that the small vineyard of 8.5 acres (which I have walked) sits above Pavie on a steep, pure limestone outcrop. This is the quintessential limestone-based wine, with a liquor of powdered chalk mixed with cassis and blackberry. Very concentrated (almost painfully so), this highly extracted, full-bodied, massive, rich and powerful wine needs cellaring. Everything is present for a great future. This is one of the superstars of the vintage. Unfortunately, production of Pavis Decesse is minuscule, as a large section of the vineyard was incorporated into Pavie. This wine, with its opaque purple color and great density and richness is a connoisseur’s dream. Forget it for 5-8 years and drink it over the following three decades. (95+)

This is really decadent with intense fruit as well as vanilla and coffee character. Full body, velvety tannin and a long finish. Layered and intense. Savory. Needs three or four years to come together.

Delivers expressive, ripe, flowing notes of raspberry coulis, plum sauce and warm fig that pick up anise, black tea and well-roasted apple wood flavors along the way. The flashy finish pumps along authoritatively, showing integrated toast and a gorgeous echo of fruit. Best from 2018 through 2028. 350 cases made. –JM

Moderately saturated medium ruby.  Deeply pitched nose combines blackcurrant, mocha, minerals and complex soil tones.  Silky, supple and quite suave for the vintage, but with lovely acid cut and spice lifting the dark fruit flavors in the mouth.  A very pure example of Pavie-Decesse, this wine expands nicely on the back end and finishes with mounting but smooth tannins.

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, cropped at 26hl/ha and aged in 80% new oak – this has a very opaque bouquet compared to the 2011 that needs several minutes to unfold. There are precocious red berry fruit, incense and cedar notes. The palate is seems to be nicely balanced, although there is still a little malolactic to be finish in this sample. The tannins appear fine however, and the finish is long and grippy in the mouth. Tasted April 2013.

Drink 2020-203090% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. Black core and deep purple rim. Very ripe damson fruit and very powerful oak influence at the moment (80% new). Firm grip but not hard, just very powerful and concentrated, almost tarry. Impressive rather than refined, though perhaps that will come. Pretty impenetrable now. (JH)  (16,5+ points)

The 2012 Pavie Decesse, a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, is a beauty. Crushed chalk, spring flower, blackberry and smoky cassis notes are all present in this deep, full-bodied, authoritative, rich, concentrated, soft wine. It is far more accessible than most past vintages have been. I suspect this 2012 should drink well upon release and last 15-20 years. It reminds me somewhat of their 2001. Much of Pavie Decesse’s vineyard was absorbed into its neighbor, Chateau Pavie, so this estate now consists of only 8.5 acres situated on the high limestone hillside above Pavie.Drink: 2013 - 2033

Licorice, spice, earth, plum, black cherry and stone notes are made more interesting by the soft, sexy, plush textures, polished tannins and the long, spicy, silky finish. 92-94 Pts

This really floral with blueberry and raspberry undertones. Very perfumed. Full body, with a medium center palate and a juicy fruit finish. Lovely aromatics to this wine. At this point, I have a slight preference for 2011. 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
