Information on the vintage 1978 red Bordeaux : The year of the miracle. Appalling growing season. Complete disaster loomed. Then the weather improved with a September blessed with cloudless skies and unbroken ripening sunshine through to the harvest.

A perfume bouquet of cigar box, tobacco leaf, stewed ripe blueberries, toasted clove, seasoned oak and crushed rocks. Palate is so soft, balanced and polished. Good layers of tertiary flavours, focus is on tobacco and earthy notes wrapped around by gentle fruits. Medium-bodied structure, transiting to a smoky and lingering finish which had some minerality. Drink up soon.

Medium bodied, soft, earthy short and loaded with cherries and tobacco. Easy to drink, but not overly complex. Fully mature and then some, this requires drinking.

Château Pavie

Château Pavie is one of the greatest growths in the Saint-Émilion appellation, elevated to the top of the appellation's classification among the Premier Grands Crus Classés A. Spanning 37 contiguous hectares southeast of the village, it occupies an entire slope — an asteriated limestone plateau, a clay-limestone hillside, and a sandy-clay foothill — where Merlot predominates, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Taken over by the Perse family in 1998, the estate produces a deep, powerful wine built for long aging.

Its vintages span two eras: the great classics from before the takeover, such as the 1990, sit alongside the highlights of the Perse era — the 2000 vintage, the 2009 wine and the 2020 — while the second wine, Arômes de Pavie, offers an initial introduction to the house style.
