92-94 The 2019 Arômes de Pavie is a blend of 65% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, harvested from the 3rd of October to the 10th of October. The yields this year were 35 hectoliters per hectare, and the alcohol came in at 14.67%, while the pH was 3.46 (remarkably low!). Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes charging out of the glass with energetic notes of freshly crushed blackberries, boysenberries and red and black plums with fragrant touches of garrigue, violets, star anise and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is completely coated with black, blue and red fruits, featuring velvety tannins and an invigorating undercurrent of freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

From a separate parcel of the Pavie vineyard, the wine is richly textured, firm with tannins. To contrast neatly, it also has a supple, velvet character with juicy black fruits and an open aftertaste. Drink from 2025.

Always one of the "Second Wines of the Vintage," the 2019 Aromes De Pavie is based on 65% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. This deep purple-hued beauty boasts a great nose of cassis, graphite, white flower, tobacco leaf, and damp earth. It shows lots of Sauvignon aromatics with its lively, floral character yet is rocking Merlot on the palate, where it's medium to full-bodied, round, and seamless. It's a great second wine that undeniably shows some mini-Pavie character.

The Wine Independent

Aromes de Pavie comes from new parcels purchased in 2017 (on top of the plateau). As from 2018, it is no longer a second wine, per se, as these are dedicated parcels for Aromes, giving it its own identity. The 2019 Aromes de Pavie is composed of 65% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, and 17% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored, it strides out confidently with notes of baked black plums, blackberry preserves, and chocolate-covered cherries, leading to hints of pencil lead, cardamom, and rose oil. Full-bodied, voluptuous, and super-plush, the palate is chock full of juicy black fruits with a spicy undercurrent and plush tannins, finishing with a refreshing lift and lots of mineral sparks. This impressive wine should age very well.

This is chewy and juicy with plums and dried fruit, as well as some walnut and nutmeg. It’s medium-to full-bodied with earth and spice. Needs three of four years to come around. Try after 2025.

Perfumed dark berries on the nose, smells ripe and round - super expressive. Mouthcoating tannins but not massively heavy with such a lovely juicy and succulent quality - nicely rounded but with elegance too. Freshness and tension throughout. Good core of dark fruit - blackcurrants and black cherries with licks of wet stone, salinity and minerality alongside some sweet black liquorice touches at the end. Such confidence - plush, ripe, round, this is a big showy wine but with lots of well expressed sides where little touches of freshness, mint, wet stone and spice all come through harmoniously. A blend of 65% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 17% Cabernet Sauvignon. 18 months ageing, 50% new oak, 50% one year old barrels.

Wine Spectator

Lush and exotic, with a broad wave of creamed plum and raspberry reduction notes, which are liberally laced with sweet toast and melted licorice. Features a swath of sweet tobacco on the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2028. 3,500 cases made.

The 2019 Arômes de Pavie is a charming, inviting second wine to drink now and over the next decade. Crushed rose petal, sweet red berry fruit, mocha, dried flowers and blood orange are all nicely delineated. Like all the Perse 2019s, the Arômes is a bit nervous in feel.
