Wine Maniacs

2020 is the first vintage this cuvee came from a dedicated parcel. Dense red berries on the nose, while on the palate it shows an airy and vivaceous style with plentiful fruit density. Delicate with its silky texture. A very long finish.

James Suckling

A beautiful red with black berries, black and green olives, and bitter chocolate. It’s full-bodied with polished tannins. Lots of depth and length. Savory at the end. It’s from dedicated plots of Pavie. Half merlot and half cabernet franc. Not just a second wine.

Jeb Dunnuck

The second wine of Château Pavie, the 2020 Aromes De Pavie certainly has some Grand Vin character in its red and black fruits, tobacco, leafy herbs, and chocolate-driven aromas and flavors. Full-bodied and concentrated, with fine tannins and some obvious minerality on the finish, it's up with the finest second wines in the vintage. It will keep for two decades.

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

With a distinctive floral edge, the wine quickly shifts to its nuances of espresso, licorice, crushed rocks, plums and dark chocolate on the nose. The wine is poised between its richness, freshness and vibrant layers of plums, cherries and cocoa with its edge of sea salt. What really makes this work is the new blend of 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Merlot, both harvested from specific parcels. Aromes de Pavie is no longer the second wine of Pavie, it is a unique wine of its own creation.

Andreas Larsson, Tasted

Fleshy and meaty with plenty of dark fruit, fine oak and toast with some smoky notes. Rich and voluminous palate, ripe and unctuous yet with a fine freshness underneath, dense, structured and very good persistency.
