Incredible blueberries, violets, fresh wild mushrooms and sandalwood. Dried tannins. Full-bodied, yet tight and refined with a beautiful center palate of fruit and chalk character. Love the pinpointed palate. Excellent acidity. Gorgeous now but wait at least five years.

The 2014 Pavie may ultimately be seen as the vintage where Gérard Perse's jewel turned a corner in terms of more Cabernet, earlier picking and less new oak. It is certainly shining in bottle. Even compared to the 2000 and 2010 I find more precision and detail in the aromatics, more of that propitious terroir coming through. You can sense that limestone. The palate is very well balanced with fine tannin, more approachable than I expected, with the Cabernet Sauvignon more pronounced on the graphite-tinged finish. This has great potential. July 2018

The 2014 Pavie is deep garnet in color with a touch of purple. A little closed to start, it needs some swirling to bring out notes of baked plums, boysenberry preserves, and black raspberries leading to wafts of crushed redcurrants, pencil shavings, and forest floor. The medium to full-bodied palate is tightly knit with mineral-laced black and red berry flavors, framed by grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing with a real skip in its step. Leave it another 4-5 years, then drink over the next 20 years+. Lisa Perrotti-Brown Dec 2023 - The Wine Independent
