  Jeb Dunnuck
  "Looking at the Grand Vin, the 2022 Château Pavie is 52% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon raised in 75% new barrels for 20 months. It brings a more focused, precise style in its darker berries, graphite, crushed stone, and floral aromatics and flavors. These carry to a full-bodied Pavie with flawless overall balance, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. This pure, powerful, yet aristocratic Pavie will benefit from 7-8 years (you can drink it even today) and have 3-4 decades of longevity."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Deep, dark, intense, concentrated, powerful, long, and rich, this is an attention-seeking wine from the moment it hits your glass, with its opaque, black-purple hue. With just a swirl or two, the wine releases notes of black, red, and blue fruits, licorice, espresso, chocolate, and smoke. Surprisingly, even with this much weight, the wine is nimble, balanced, and fresh on the palate. That sense of lift remains from the mid-palate through to the finish. This is the first vintage where you find the vines from Bellevue Mondotte, and Pavie Decesse integrated into Chateau Pavie. The wine blends 52% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc with 18% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2030-2065."

  Decanter
  "A mixture of dried herbs, blackcurrant leaf, blueberry, violets, vanilla and salty stones on the nose. Intense and complex, it’s upfront and mouth-filling with chewy, fleshy tannins but lifted by vibrant acidity. Controlled power, pure fruit focus, and a joyful, crunchy texture. Salty spice, liquorice, black chocolate, and clove add depth to the finish. A charming, structured wine, full of promise."
