Like all the Perse wines, the 2008 Pavie Decesse is a backward, unevolved effort that just recently finished malolactic fermentation. An amazing effort (90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc) that was cropped at 30 hectoliters per hectare, it emerges from an 8+ acre vineyard planted in pure limestone whose vines average 47 years (relatively old by Bordeaux standards). The 2008 is another huge, massive, full-bodied St.-Emilion that is even more concentrated than the 2005 or 2000. Sweet notes of blackberries...

90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. 3.65 hectare vineyard planted on the limestone plateau with 47 year old vines. Yields were only 33 hls/ha. 100% new oak. Vibrant red color - Nice profile of ripe red fruits with some strawberry and rose petals. Shows a slight streak of dried herbs and black olive, which contributes nicely to the overall complexity of this wine. Has some nice sweet oak and semi-sweet chocolate as well. Good play between fruit character and earth driven components. The finish is well...

In 2002, a big section of this vineyard will be incorporated into Pavie. The 2000 Pavie Decesse, made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc at yields of 30 hectoliters per hectare, enjoyed a five-week maceration and was aged in 100% new oak, with aging on its lees for the first six months. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered, as are all the Perse wines. This wine, for about one-half the price of Pavie, is well-worth checking out ... to state it mildly! A brilliant effort, the wine has an opaque...

A full-bodied wine. Pavie Decesse is also quite complex with good tannic structure and excellent ageing potential, typical of finest wines from Saint-Emilion plateau. Wine Spectator rating: 91.

...cropped at a meager 30 hectoliters per hectare. After a five week maceration, the wine was aged 18 months in 100% new oak, and bottled unfined and unfiltered (as are all the Perse wines). An inky/ruby/purple color is accompanied by rich aromas of Asian spices, soy, black truffles, licorice, espresso, and intense cherry and blackberry fruit. It displays great intensity, medium to full body, low acidity, and high tannin. This beauty is not far off the pace of the blockbuster 2000...

An extraordinary success, the 2003 is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc made from yields of 28 hectoliters per hectare. After a five week maceration, the wine was put through malolactic in new oak, and was aged on its lees for six months. Sadly, there are only 400 cases of this 13.5% alcohol offering. An explosive, flamboyant, astonishing effort, it boasts an opaque dense purple color along with a big, sweet perfume of blackberries, wet stones, and white flowers (perhaps even violets)...

This small estate owned by Chantal and Gerard Perse (9 plus acres planted with 43-year-old vines) is composed of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. In 2004, yields were a low 28-30 hectoliters per hectare, resulting in 400 cases being produced. The dense ruby/purple-colored 2004 offers smoky creme de cassis, kirsch liqueur, crushed rock, and spring flower aromas. Opulent, flamboyant, rich, dense, and lavishly endowed, it possesses enough fruit and glycerin to nearly conceal its elevated tannin. This...

A tiny production of 1,200 cases ensures that not much of this wine is available, but it is one of the top dozen or so St.-Emilions produced since proprietors Chantal and Gerard Perse took over the estate. Cropped at 30 hectoliters per hectare, the wine enjoyed a 32-day maceration, malolactic in barrel, and aging on its lees. The result is an impressive inky/purple-hued 2006 offering up notes of crushed rocks, black raspberry jam, cold steel, flowers, and spice, and a terrific, full-bodied mouthfeel...

"Château Pavie Decesse, a St.Emilion Grand Cru Classé property is now producing wines the equal of its illustrious brother Chateau Pavie. Both properties were previously owned by the Valet family until they were purchased by Gérard Perse, owner of Château Monbousquet, in 1997. Pavie-Decesse is situated in the heart of the Côtes sub-district of St. Emilion, with the vineyards being planted on chalky, clay soils."

Parker Review: "...opaque purple-colored example possesses fabulously sweet, black currant and cherry fruit intermixed with minerals and subtle new oak. Full-bodied, powerful, and highly-extracted, yet intense, without any heaviness, this is a beautifully pure, layered, well endowed Pavie-Decesse ..."

The Wine Advocate rating: 96. wine's color is a very deep and intense violet which is normal for this vintage. There is a well-developed and complex aromatic palette of chocolate, cacao, and black currant that is typical in wines touched by sun, joined by an attractive spiciness. Supporting all this is a balanced woody character which is elegant and striking. wine is somewhat paradoxical: it has an aromatic style reminiscent of those from south of France; but palate is surprisingly different, with still-developing, tight tannins, and particularly dense and elegant body characteristic of a mature Bordeaux harveSaint long finish shows very good balance. This is a wine for long keeping which will develop fully only after five to 12 more years. Winter foods like tasty game dishes will perfectly accompany this wine at table.

Is the 2008 Pavie superior to the 2005 and 2000? While that is impossible to know at this stage of its development, it will certainly be one of the three greatest Pavies made under the administration of Chantal and Gerard Perse. Cropped at a very low 30 hectoliters per hectare, the final blend is a classic Pavie combination of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The 14.5% natural alcohol is the highest ever achieved at this estate. The inky/blue/purple color is followed by...

Parker Review: "The greatest Pavie-Decesse I have ever tasted, this opaque blue/purple-colored 1999 boasts fabulous intensity, compelling opulence, and a prodigious, explosive finish. Super-extracted, yet neither heavy nor unbalanced, this pure, layered, concentrated, multidimensional wine reveals fabulous black fruit flavors intermixed with cold steel, minerals, licorice, as well as subtle, smoky new oak. A dazzling winemaking tour de force, it should turn out to be one of the vintage's superstars...

I tasted this wine on four occasions, on one of which I was convinced it was still going through malolactic fermentation. It is another superb effort from this property that was elevated to premier grand cru classe status until a judge in Libourne, for unknown reasons, threw out the classification, a decision beyond belief, that is now under appeal. A number of exceptional wines have emerged from Pavie Macquin, which is managed by Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt, and the 2008 boasts a...
