This is chewy and juicy with plums and dried fruit, as well as some walnut and nutmeg. It’s medium-to full-bodied with earth and spice. Needs three of four years to come around. Try after 2025.

The 2019 Arômes de Pavie is a blend of 65% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, harvested from the 3rd of October to the 10th of October. The yields this year were 35 hectoliters per hectare, and the alcohol came in at 14.67%, while the pH was 3.46 (remarkably low!). Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes charging out of the glass with energetic notes of freshly crushed blackberries, boysenberries and red and black plums with fragrant touches of garrigue, violets, star anise and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is completely coated with black, blue and red fruits, featuring velvety tannins and an invigorating undercurrent of freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

The 2019 Arômes de Pavie is a very pleasing, inviting second wine. Red fruit, dried flowers, espresso, menthol and spice all meld together in an open-knit pliant wine with terrific depth and plenty of character. The 2019 will drink beautifully pretty much upon release.

The second wine of Château Pavie, the 2019 Château Pavie Aromes De Pavie is always a good introduction into the style – and quality – of the estate. Based on 65% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, it has a wonderful elegance and purity as well as notes of blackcurrants, lead pencil, tobacco, and white flowers. Like its big brother, it's full-bodied, has terrific minerality, and a great finish. It's already hard to resist.

The 2019 Arômes de Pavie has an attractive bouquet, well-defined, with blackberry, bilberry and incense notes, the new oak neatly enmeshed. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy ripe tannins, pure blackcurrant mixed with blueberry and a touch of salted liquorice, sleek and silky smooth. This is a very well-crafted second label from Pavie, the best that I have tasted.

Medium-bodied. with freshness, soft textures and a fruity approach. The licorice-accented red berries are soft with even softer tannins. You can enjoy this on release, or age it for a bit while waiting for the Grand Vin to develop. 89-91 Pts

Such beautiful quality of tannins in this with dense, layered fruit. It's full-bodied with black fruit, wet earth and smoke. Some meat, too. Muscular, yet agile.
