More about this product
Château Pavie
Usually Chateau Pavie is one of the last to harvest in the Saint Emilion area to ensure full grain ripeness. Here 70% of the vineyards are viewed in an organic way and the goal is to reach 100%. In 1954 he received the Premier Grand Cru Classe (B), and in 2012 the Classe (A) thanks to the investment and dedication of the current owner Gerard Perse. Wine making begins with the extremely detailed selection of the grapes - from the vine itself, where part of the harvest is sacrificed for the optimal development of the rest, goes through optical control and reaches the oak vessels, where gravity squeezes the juice from the berries. The wine is so rich in color that for some years it is completely opaque, and the experience is deep and multi-layered - qualities worthy of the best wines in the world.

Bordeaux
Bordeaux is perhaps the most famous wine region in France. It stretches 130 kilometers inland from the Atlantic coast. In 2018, 111,000 hectares of vineyards were registered, a figure that remains largely constant over the previous decade. The main varieties grown here are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc and they are used to make different wines, each producer having its own blend and proportions of mixing the varieties. Here are produced some of the most famous, most expensive and long-lasting wines in the world - the well-known subregions Medoc, Graves, St. Emilion, Pomerol and many others. Bordeaux is divided by the Gironde River on the left and right banks. Characteristic of the left bank (Medoc, Haut Medoc, Graves) is the more serious presence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend of wine, while on the right bank (St. Emillion, Pomerol) merlot predominates. In addition to red wines, Bordeaux is famous for the production of white, mainly a blend between Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, with the Sauternes subregion and the leading Chateau d’Yquem, famous for its complex and multi-layered, aromatic and sweet botrytized dessert wine.

Cabernet Sauvignon
This is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth - a natural crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. From its origins in Bordeaux, this vine has successfully spread to almost every wine growing country in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon wines always demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, excellent tannic structure and aromas of black berries and spices.
