Chateau Pavie-Decesse 2015 Magnum 1.5L
The Wine
In 2022 this Estate has been incorporated into Chateau Pavie (2021 was the last standalone Vintage bottled) - 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc
99 Pts Jeb Dunnock 'The 2015 Château Pavie Decesse is another blockbuster from the Perse team, and it’s not far off the straight Pavie release, although this cuvée always shows slightly more elegance and freshness as well as obvious minerality. Sensational notes of crème de cassis, black cherries, white truffle, white flowers, and incense notes all emerge from this full-bodied, saturated purple (it’s almost blue-colored), powerful wine. It’s another wine that has the upfront, voluptuous style of the vintage yet backs it up with sensational concentration, building tannins, remarkable purity, and a huge finish. It’s an incredible wine that needs 5-10 years of bottle age and will keep for another 3 decades.'
98 Pts James Suckling 'Plums, berries, flowers, wet earth and rose petals. Full-bodied, deep and rich, especially on the center palate. Super silky tannins. Great length and texture. Goes on for minutes. Try in 2023.'

About the Wine Maker 
Château Pavie-Decesse was a well-regarded Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé estate on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, famous for its rich, Merlot-based wines from limestone plateau vineyards. Gérard Perse bought it in 1997, and after the 2022 classification, it was merged into Château Pavie, making 2021 its last vintage as a standalone estate.
