Extremely aromatic with kir, cherries and flowers. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins. Juicy fruit. So round and inviting now. Drink and enjoy.

The entry-level wine of the estate is the 2016 Esprit de Pavie, which is primarily Merlot blended with 30% Cabernet Franc, coming from Saint Emilion and the Castillon region. This total charmer has a sweet bouquet of black cherries, licorice, and spice to go with a mouthfilling, pure, balanced style on the palate that’s already delicious. It certainly has estate character and is ideal for enjoying over the coming decade or so. I’d happily drink bottles.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Esprit de Pavie comes bounding out of the glass with youthful, exuberant black cherries, warm blackberries and stewed plums notes with touches of menthol, dark chocolate and candied violets. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with juicy black berries and savory layers, framed by rounded tannins and a lively backbone, finishing with a minty kick.  Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Sweet and very flattering. Good lift on the end. Lively. Round and sweet. Early drinking. Will be GV.
