Arômes de Pavie 2024

Perse Latitudes

After a first career in the retail industry, Gérard Perse decided in the 1990s to fulfill his passion for vineyards and wine. His future would be written in Saint-Emilion, his land of choice. He acquired, among others, Château Pavie, a premier grand cru classé 'A' of Saint-Emilion, Monbousquet, a classified grand cru of Saint-Emilion, and later Clos Lunelles in Castillon, Côtes de Bordeaux.

Wine is a product that can be enhanced both by its origin and the dishes associated with it. Thus the Perse Family acquired the Hostellerie de Plaisance, a renowned place of gastronomy and lifestyle, which later became Hôtel de Pavie along with its double Michelin-starred restaurant, La Table de Pavie. The collaboration since 2020 with Yannick Alléno, a true icon of French gastronomy, embodies the new dynamics and ambition embraced by the family.

Arômes de Pavie, the expression of a terroir

The second wine of Château Pavie comes from parcels dedicated exclusively to its production. It benefits from the expertise and know-how of the same teams and, as for the first wine, the quest for excellence guides every actions. Following these principles, the vineyard has evolved over the years towards the greatest terroirs and is now located on the limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion, at 85m from the level of the Dordogne. With the same signature as its elder brother, the wine is characterized by its charm and elegance, associated with a beautiful freshness.

In 2024, Pavie unveils a refreshed visual identity—more modern, more refined—echoing the evolution of its wines. This vintage sees Aromes de Pavie adorned with a new label, marking this new chapter.

The 2024 vintage :

"The 2024 vintage brought its share of challenges that called upon all the vigneron’s expertise and experience. Relentlessly, with energy and tenacity, we pursued our quest for perfection. Our terroir, both powerful and generous, once again demonstrated its exceptional qualities and revealed all its strength
of character. The weather conditions during the growing season necessitated painstaking work and the commitment of each vigneron. Skill and experience guided the decision-making of the technical managers.
Finally, at each stage of the cycle, our determination and enthusiasm enabled us to push the boundaries to their limit in order to achieve optimal ripeness in the grapes. As the Primeurs tastings begin, we are proud to present our wines to you. 2024 is a subtle vintage with outstanding harmony that offers the promise of a wine of timeless elegance." - Gérard Perse
