When it comes to Bordeaux, people say there is Lafite on the left bank and Pavie on the right bank, which shows the significance of Chteau Pavie. Located in Saint-Emilion, Pavie is one of the four greatest wineries on the right bank and has been upgraded to Premier Grand Cru Class (A) since 2012.
Starting with the 2005 vintage, Chteau Pavie officially announces the release of a second-label wine under the name of “Armes de Pavie which replaces “Chteau Tour Simard . Principally from young vines that are less than ten years old. Terroir called milieu de cte (middle of the slope) located approximately 55 meters above the Dordogne and composed of very fine brown limestone.
The same care and attention goes into the production of this wine as to Pavie itself, which ensure each bottle’s high level quality.

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker’s rating: 91-93 points)
Deep purple-black in color, it needs a little swirling to unleash its exuberant scents of stewed black plums, black cherry compote and boysenberries, plus hints of tar, sauted herbs and chargrill. The full-bodied palate packs in the black fruit layers, framed by soft tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and earthy.

(James Suckling’s rating: 95 points)
A beautiful red with black berries, black and green olives, and bitter chocolate. Its full-bodied with polished tannins. Lots of depth and length. Savory at the end. Its from dedicated plots of Pavie. Half merlot and half cabernet franc. Not just a second wine. Better after 2028.
