Château Pavie St Emilion Grand Cru Arômes de Pavie 2022

A dedicated plot of vines on the plateau set aside for this wine to ensure the DNA. Still tight, lots of density and a smoky grilled character. This was opened two hours before tasting and yet needs a good 30 minutes in the glass to show its mandarin peel, blueberry, cassis and blood orange nuance. Umami soy and broth hints, this is textured and good quality. Give a few years in bottle to soften. Perse family owners, 50% new oak for ageing.
