CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2025 Pavie is a total stunner. What a wine. Rich and dazzling in its intensity, the 2025 hits all the right notes. Inky dark red/purplish fruit, exotic spice, mocha, espresso and pomegranate literally stain the palate. The 2025 is going to require the better part of a decade to unwind, but it has a ton of potential and a very bright future. This is the first time Cabernet Franc is the dominant variety in the Grand Vin. The 2025 has plenty of the textural intensity readers have come to expect, but with less of the heavy extraction that marked the earlier years.

60% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. 21 hl/ha. Cask sample.Deep purple-black colour. Lots of Cabernet in the blend (a record for Cabernet Franc). Lovely fruit expression, the aromas pure and expressive. An abundance of tannin but sculpted and precise. Freshness from start to finish. Intense and profound. Long on the finish. Considerable ageing potential. (JL)
