ESPRIT DE PAVIE IS AN ODE TO SHARED PLEASURE.
Its typical Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon offers beautiful complexity on the nose. Vibrant notes of cherry and raspberry show through against a backdrop of subtle oak followed by a smooth, round texture on the palate. Refined mineral notes come to the fore in a long, elegant finish.
Both refined and well-balanced, Esprit de Pavie reveals lovely harmony both in its youth and after a few years in bottle. Its convivial personality makes it the perfect pairing for a whole range of dishes for the greatest pleasure of the senses.
THE VINTAGE: Heavy rainfall during the winter and spring helped our soils to build up great reserves of water, which ultimately turned out to be crucial. Indeed, after an early bud-break, owing to particularly mild winter and early spring temperatures, summer followed with drought conditions and scorching temperatures. Our vines coped well, and our grapes were able to ripen smoothly. In early September, cool and rainy weather conditions returned and enabled us to wait for the optimal moment to pick the grapes. Our grapes offered very good ripeness levels, particularly in the Cabernets, which were very pure and very elegant.
GROWING METHODS: Green harvesting, with a first leafthinning at the end of June to expose the grapes to the morning sun, and repeated in mid-August so the bunches may benefit from afternoon sunlight.
VINIFICATION: Alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks. Malolactic fermentation in barrels.
HARVEST: from 01/10 to 08/10
AGING: 30% in one year old barrels, 70% in tanks, for 15 months.
SURFACE AREA: 56 hectares
BLEND: 65% merlot, 20% cabernet franc, 15% cabernet sauvignon
YIELDS: 38 hl/ha
