2021 Pavie Decesse

Perse Latitudes After a first life in retail marketing, Gérard Perse decided in the 90's to satisfy his passion for wine. His future will be written in Saint-Emilion, his favorite place. He acquired the châteaux Pavie, 1er grand cru classé "A" of Saint-Emilion, Pavie-Decesse, Monbousquet, grands crus classés of Saint-Emilion and then Bellevue-Mondotte, still in Saint-Emilion, and Clos Lunelles in Castillon, Côtes de Bordeaux. Because wine is enhanced both by the location and the dishes associated with it, the Perse family bought the Hostellerie de Plaisance, a mecca of gastronomy and lifestyle, which later became the Hotel de Pavie and its double michelin-starred restaurant, the Table de Pavie . Since 2020, the collaboration with Yannick Alleno, a leader of French gastronomy, symbolizes a new dynamic and the great ambition carried by the family. The 2021 vintage, a show jumping for experienced rider Control of pace, lenght of stride and the trajectory necessary to guarantee a clear round.. the 2021 growing season often felt like taking part in a show jumping event. While anticipation and flexibility were essential factors, knowledge and experience in the vineyard were required to get through this vine cycle's tricky climatic episodes of this vintage. Just like the rider who trains and prepares his mount for a jumping event, it is also the result of precise and regular work carried out over time by loyal and passionate teams. Pavie Decesse, a history intertwined with Pavie's The history of Pavie Decesse is closely linked with Château Pavie’s. The vineyard of the former was an integral part of the latter until the end of the 19th century. The estate is one of those "happy few" that belong to the top group of Saint-Emilion Grands Crus Classés. Enjoying the same attention as Château Pavie, whose terroir it essentially shares, Pavie Decesse achieves a consistency of quality which is the definition of a Great Growth. Its 3.65 hectare vineyard is located on the limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion. Here, Merlots express themselves fully: the limestone brings a lot of freshness and minerality to the wine, while the clays also present in these soils, give it a good structure.
