Château Pavie Decesse
Above the Pavie hillside, close to Saint‑Émilion’s limestone plateau, Château Pavie‑Decesse in St.Emilion sits like a discreet walled garden. Bought by Gérard Perse in 1997, it is a Saint‑Émilion Grand Cru Classé, and its tiny surface area turns every decision into a matter of precision.
Red and brown clays over asteries limestone give the vineyard its backbone; Merlot leads, with Cabernet Franc adding definition. Hand harvesting, severe sorting and parcel‑by‑parcel vinification keep the focus on purity rather than volume.
In the cellar, extraction is carefully tuned, and élevage in barriques—new oak used with intent—polishes structure without masking origin. Pavie‑Decesse is Saint‑Émilion distilled: height, limestone and meticulous craft in a Grand Cru Classé scale, year after year.Château Pavie Decesse
