Château Pavie Decesse 2021 – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé

The nose is fresh, elegant, racy and reveals good definition, fine crispness and a hint of spice. There are notes of ripe wild blackberry/fresh blackcurrant, elegant blackcurrant and slightly blueberry, combined with hints of toasted almond, saline minerality, as well as fine black tea and a very discreet hint of vanilla. The palate is nicely fresh, juicy, elegant, balanced and demonstrates a fine saline/chalkiness, tension and finesse. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, fresh purple plum and more slightly raspberry combined with hints of blueberry, liquorice, fine hints of chocolate as well as discreet hints of saffron (in its floral side) and caramelisation. The wine has finesse in its generosity, gourmandize and a nice definition on the bright/pulpy red berries.
