Bordeaux Region Report

St Emilion, Premier Grand Cru Classe

The 1975 Château Pavie from Saint-Émilion comes from a vintage that was solid overall in Bordeaux. The 1975 vintage was notable for its high tannin levels, and many wines from this year have a firm structure, making them suitable for long-term aging. The 1975 Château Pavie was produced before the estate underwent significant modernization and investment in the late 1990s, under the ownership of Gérard Perse, which transformed Pavie into one of Saint-Émilion’s top estates. As such, the 1975 is a product of a more traditional winemaking approach, with less concentration and polish than modern vintages. …

Pauillac, 5th Growth Classification
92 Points Wine Spectator
Top shoulder / Bin soiled labels

*** 92 Points Wine Spectator ***
I drank a lot of this in Paris when I lived there in the mid-1980s. And I had a bottle this summer as well. Always outstanding. Shows intense aromas of prune and licorice. Full, velvety and long. This is a beautiful Bordeaux. (JS, Web Only-2007)

**** 91 Points Robert Parker ****
The 1970 is an old style Lynch Bages with plenty of dry tannin in the finish. Compellingly aromatic, it offers aromas of cedar wood, spice box, tobacco, earth, black currants, and new saddle leather. Spicy, concentrated, and burly, with mouth-searing tannin, this big, thick wine is a terrific example of Lynch Bages made in an older style. …
