["The 2014 Pavie is clearly the star of Gérard Perse's portfolio this year. The aromatics are the most complex and absorbing, a mixture of red and black fruit, graphite and black truffle, a faint marine influence emerging as it unfolds in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and demonstrates less substance and glossiness than the Bellevue-Mondotte. In fact, if you had this blind you might describe it as a more "classic" Saint Emilion, underpinned by quite firm tannin that provide this with impressive backbone. There is a toughness to this Pavie, but it retains balance. It has its sights set on longevity and for that we will have to wait, but it will be worth it.- Neal Martin (03/2017)"]

["This is juicy and fresh in feel despite the obvious heft, with a brambly note underneath the core of blueberry, açai and boysenberry fruit. Loads of licorice, bay, tobacco and black tea flavors fill in through the finish. A flashy display, but this has the cut and drive to pull it off.—Non-blind Pavie vertical (March 2017). Best from 2026 through 2040. 6,665 cases made. — JM (2017)"]
