2009 - Chateau Pavie Saint Emilion

Limit 12 Bottles per customer.
"Another brilliant effort from Gerard Perse. ...Everything here is done with extraordinary gentleness and precision. The result is a powerful, full-bodied, remarkably intense wine that is black/purple in color. It will require considerable patience, much like 2000 and 2005. It displays enormous creme de cassis and boysenberry fruit with some cherries, spice box, and crushed rock in the background. It is intense, with loads of minerality, huge extraction, massive power, yet again, the vintage character seems to have given it a freshness and vibrancy despite the wine’s obvious viscosity." -Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, 96-100 pts.

"Blackberry, black cherry, licorice and mineral. Full-bodied, with a big core of velvety tannins and rich fruit. Full throttle, and all there. Really massive. Blockbuster and more. Could be a tad overdone. But we will see in bottle." -Wine Spectator, 94-97 pts.

Minimum 6 bottles, per type, required for all Futures orders.
