It is classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé, and is a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2011 vintage boasts a powerful structure with rich fruit notes and a long ageing potential.
Merlot dominates the blend, giving the wine richness and plush fruit, while Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon add structure and aromatic complexity. Malolactic fermentation takes place in the barrel, and the wine is aged in 70-100% new oak for between 18 and 32 months.

"95 Points. It possesses a certain approachability, which is somewhat disarming for the big, robust, super-concentrated and age worthy style Pavie has favored since 1998. The opaque purple-hued, full-bodied 2011 offers a sweet kiss of kirsch, blackberry, cassis and licorice, but no evidence of toasty oak despite the fact it is bottled about six months after most other premier grand cru classes in St.-Emilion. One of the most complete wines of the vintage, this superstar possesses gorgeous texture and opulence, and can be drunk in 3-4 years, or cellared for two decades." - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate.
Grape: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
The 2011 has an intensity, with concentrated fruit aromas alongside fine spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon. Additional notes from barrel aging are felt across the palate. Full-bodied and dense with flavours of dark plum and berry fruit, with graphite and tobacco on the finish. Overall, the wine is rich, powerful and structured.
