"Well structured, firm yet ripe tannins, juicy fruit, restrained spiciness and fine toasting, excellent length."

"Pavie shows the softness I've always been waiting for in the vintage of 2021. For a super masculine wine, it actually showed its tenderness in the cool vintage. I have to say, this might be my most favorite en primeur of Pavie. A layer of mellow, powdery tannins coats the grand body; and rich scents of begonia, hawthorn cake, plum sugar, and a rare delicate violet fragrance flows from inside out. Pavie 2021 possesses the elegance I have not seen in previous vintages. It must be an exclusive "Pavie's memory"."

"The 2021 Château Pavie was one of the few wines in the vintage that got a big "wow" in my notes. Based on 52% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, it's a full-bodied, dense, powerful, beautiful 2021 with classic Pavie darker, richer fruits, notes of spicy oak, chocolate, and violets, ripe velvety tannins, and a great finish. It's not at the 2019 or 2020 level, but don't hold that against it. This is pure brilliance in 2021 and one of the wines of the vintage."

95-97/100 Vinous - Antonio Galloni
"The 2021 Pavie is a wine of tremendous potential. Naturally, it shows the more mid-weight style of the year and yet there is plenty of depth as well as energy that starts to emerge with a bit of time in the glass. Bright saline notes shape the wine while extending the finish and adding so much drive. The 2021 is shaping up to be a very special wine. All it needs is time."

96/100 Vert de Vin Magazine
"The nose is nicely led, elegant, fine, complex and offers pretty fine grain, power and a certain depth. It reveals notes of wild raspberry, fleshy strawberry and slight hints of blackberry associated with touches of blueberries, star anise, licorice, a slight hint of caramelization, small crushed blueberries, tonka bean as well as a subtle hint of Bourbon vanilla. The palate is mineral, fruity, balanced and offers a nice fresh/tangy structure, elegance, tanginess, a fine creaminess in freshness, fullness, roundness, harmony, a nice freshness as well as a fine concentration. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of fresh raspberry, luscious/juicy currants and slight notes of blueberry associated with touches of bright blackcurrant, juicy boysenberry, with slight hints of black pepper, tonka bean/chocolate, caramelization as well as a subtle hint of sense of place (Mediterranean barrier) and vanilla. Good length. The tannins are precise, elegant, fresh and racy."

95-96/100 James Suckling
"Deep black and blue fruit with cocoa and tar character. Compact and full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins that are very textured and interwoven into the wine. This has a lot of structure to go a long way. Yet it remains in balance with finesse. 52% merlot, 30% cabernet franc and 18% cabernet sauvignon."

94-96/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"One of the darkest colored wines of the vintage, the wine kicks off with black, blue and dark red fruit. Spicy, long, and fresh, with strong oceanic influences, espresso, chocolate, flowers, herbs and salty, wild cherries in the perfume. The wine has equal amounts of richness, freshness, length and energy, with a finish that showcases its deep, limestone soils. There is tension and ample dark, red fruits that carry through to the endnote. The wine blends 52% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.14% ABV pH 3.67. Harvesting took place September 28 - October 12. The lateness of vintage is due to waiting for the Cabernets to ripen, which was a key to wines success. Drink from 2028-2060."
