The history of the property goes back to 1850 when the Pimpinelle estate was owned by Mr Fayard and Mr Chapus who, thanks to their work, managed to obtain a gold medal at the Paris World Fair. Less than ten years later, it was bequeathed to Ferdinand Bouffard, a Bordeaux merchant who, in twenty years, managed to build up a 50-hectare estate by buying up several properties. Just after the war, it was bought by Albert Porte when Ferdinand Bouffard passed away. By unifying the properties of Mr. Bouffard, he created Château Pavie (The name comes from a particularly sweet and juicy peach variety that was growing on the slope). Alexandre Valette took over in 1943 and succeeded in raising it to the rank of Premier Grand Cru Classé B in 1955. His grandson, who had taken over in 1957, sold it to Gérard Perse in 1998 who is still the owner today. Thanks to major investments in both the vineyard and the cellar and to additional work towards maturity and precision, the latter managed to raise his estate to the rank of Premier Grand Cru Classé “A” during the revision of the classification of Saint-Emilion wines in 2012. The magnificence of Château Pavie comes from its exceptional terroir (37 hectares planted in one block) made of limestone, clay and sand-clay, with over 80 meters of altitude variation offering a multitude of micro-terroir, with mostly south exposure, where the typical grape varieties of the right bank (Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon) achieve perfect maturity.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-12T17:38:51-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-11T07:09:25-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","nini1101","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Chateau Pavie","Region_Saint-Emilion","Source_CanaWine0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":69999,"price_min":69999,"price_max":69999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42674880839818,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2003 | Chateau Pavie | St. Emilion","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":69999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41_4e1b2c06-278e-469a-ac42-79691624210b.png?v=1673439156"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41_4e1b2c06-278e-469a-ac42-79691624210b.png?v=1673439156","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2003 | Chateau Pavie | St. Emilion at CaskCartel.com","id":23951509651594,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.362,"height":597,"width":216,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41_4e1b2c06-278e-469a-ac42-79691624210b.png?v=1673439156"},"aspect_ratio":0.362,"height":597,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41_4e1b2c06-278e-469a-ac42-79691624210b.png?v=1673439156","width":216}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2003 | Chateau Pavie | St. Emilion\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2003 Pavie is powerful and rich, with a very suave texture with a certain overripe quality that gives the impression of sweetness on the aftertaste.
