value-minded wine

but has good stuffing and energy for the vintage

Chateau Pavie Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2020 Wood Box SGWS and terroirThis impressive version offers stunning fruit, with loganberry, blackberry and boysenberry compote notes moving through steadily, carried by a deeply embedded chalk spine that provides form, while flashes of violet, iris, Earl Grey tea, warm earth and dark tobacco slowly emerge throughout. The long finish shows nice underlying tension. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2027 through 2045.
