Description

Château Pavie Decesse, 1997
Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé

The 1997 vintage in Bordeaux produced wines that were approachable in their youth, favouring elegance and charm over sheer power. In Saint-Émilion, careful vineyard management was key, and estates with well-situated limestone and clay soils achieved balance and purity of fruit. Château Pavie Decesse, classified as Grand Cru Classé, is known for its elevated vineyard parcels and meticulous winemaking, producing wines of depth and refinement.

Situated on the limestone plateau overlooking Saint-Émilion, Pavie Decesse benefits from excellent drainage and exposure, lending structure and aromatic lift to its Merlot-dominant blends.

Tasting Notes:
Now deep ruby with soft garnet reflections, the nose is mature and expressive. Aromas of red plum, black cherry and dried raspberry are layered with notes of cedar, tobacco leaf and subtle spice. With time in the glass, hints of leather and earthy minerality emerge. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied, with softened tannins and a smooth, harmonious texture. Flavours of ripe red fruits, mocha and gentle oak unfold gracefully, leading to a balanced and lingering finish.

Serving & Food Pairing:
Best served at cellar temperature. Decanting for a short period will help the wine open fully. A fine partner to roast lamb, beef dishes or mature hard cheeses.

Summary:
A refined and classically styled Saint-Émilion from a respected Grand Cru Classé estate, Château Pavie Decesse 1997 offers mature fruit, balance and the understated elegance characteristic of this approachable Bordeaux vintage.
