Wine Spectator: 97 Points
This is juicy and fresh in feel despite the obvious heft, with a brambly note underneath the core of blueberry, açai and boysenberry fruit. Loads of licorice, bay, tobacco and black tea flavors fill in through the finish. A flashy display, but this has the cut and drive to pull it off.--Non-blind Pavie vertical (March 2017). Best from 2026 through 2040. 6,665 cases made.
James Suckling: 97 Points
This is a magnificent Pavie with full body and polished and integrated tannins. Shows a level of precision and balance that is always unexpected. Long and harmonious. Hard now to drink now, but will reward those with long-term patience.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2014 Pavie is clearly the star of Gérard Perse's portfolio this year. The aromatics are the most complex and absorbing, a mixture of red and black fruit, graphite and black truffle, a faint marine influence emerging as it unfolds in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and demonstrates less substance and glossiness than the Bellevue-Mondotte. In fact, if you had this blind you might describe it as a more "classic" Saint Emilion, underpinned by quite firm tannin that provide this with impressive backbone. There is a toughness to this Pavie, but it retains balance. It has its sights set on longevity and for that we will have to wait, but it will be worth it.
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
This is a perfumed ripe wine, packed with generous tannins that still give a style and elegance that is a remove from the older overripe style of Pavie. It is balanced, complex and with great potential. The wood and the tannins are in harmony with the black fruits. With its structure, it will certainly age well. Drink from 2027. (Cellar Selection)
