James Suckling 97 points: "Very complex with red currants, iodine and iron. Medium-bodied, with a dense yet energetic palate and a long and racy finish showing chalk and gunpowder. Flinty. 52% merlot, 30% cabernet franc and 18% cabernet sauvignon. Tight at the end, suggesting at least four to five years of cellaring. Drink after 2029." , Reviewed on 02.04.24 by James Suckling
Yves Beck 97 points: "52% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon Ich habe selten einen Pavie verkostet, der so sehr von seiner Frische geprägt ist. Neben Nuancen von Kirschen und süßen Gewürzen offenbart er kreidige Noten, gefolgt von klassischen Düften von Schokolade und schwarzen Beeren. Mit seinem sanften und seidigen Auftakt ist der Wein elegant. Er verfügt über samtene, bestens eingebundene Tannine, während dei Gaumenmitte noch an Definition gewinnen muss. Es ist insbesondere im Finale, dass das Terroir bzw. seine kreidige Seite die Oberhand gewinnt. Der Wein wird noch etwas Zeit brauchen, aber die angekündigten Perspektiven im Finale sind erfreulich. Ich denke, dass eine höhere Bewertung in Reichweite liegt." Drinking Window 2027 - 2048, Reviewed on 19.12.23 by Yves Beck
The Wine Cellar Insider 96 points: "The blend of dark, red cherries, salty crushed stones, flowers, licorice, chocolate, and espresso works to create the attention seeking perfume. Moderately less concentrated than recent vintages, but with more vibrancy, energy, and finesse, the wine delivers its salty, essence of red fruits, spice, and chocolate-mint with ease. There is tension and ample dark, red fruits that carry through to the endnote. The wine blends 52% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2028-2060." , Reviewed on 09.03.24 by The Wine Cellar Insider
Vinous Antonio Galloni 96 points: "The 2021 Pavie is a potent, brooding wine that is going to need time to be at its best. Floral and spice notes confer freshness on the bouquet. In this tasting, the 2021 feels a bit tight. I doubt that will be an issue in another few years' time. Structurally, the 2021 is a touch lighter than most recent vintages, but the identity is there. The move towards more Cabernet in the blend since 2019 has markedly changed the character of Pavie. The 2021 is on the linear side today. I can't wait to see how it ages."

The Wine Independent 96 points: "The 2021 Pavie has a deep garnet-purple color. It is very closed to start, needing a lot of coaxing and swirling to reveal notes of fresh black plums, black raspberries, and wild blueberries, plus underlying hints of lilacs, crushed rocks, forest floor, and jasmine tea. The medium-bodied palate is taut and tense, with latent, energetic notes of red, black, and blue berries intertwined with mineral and floral notes, supported by firm, fine-grained tannins and beautiful freshness, finishing long and perfumed. So, so pretty!" Drinking Window 2027 - 2047, Reviewed on 23.04.24 by Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Jeb Dunnuck 96 points: "As to the Grand Vin, the saturated ruby/purple-hued 2021 Château Pavie defies the vintage with its ripe, powerful aromatics of cassis, toasted spice, chalky minerality, graphite, and hints of truffly earth. A rich, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, incredibly textured 2021, it has velvety tannins, no hard edges, and a gorgeous finish. It's a testament to the talent and work of this incredible team and is up with the crème de la crème of the vintage. The 2021 is based on 52% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, brought up in a mix of new and used barrels, hitting 14.14% alcohol and a pH of 3.67. It’s going to age for 20-25 years if well stored." Drinking Window 2024 - 2049, Reviewed on 03.04.24 by Jeb Dunnuck
Decanter 96 points: "Extremely dark aromatics on the nose, dark bramble fruits, cedar and liquorice with a really vibrant but dark indigo rim to the wine. Focussed and sharp, high toned in the best way, this really makes you smile when you first taste it, the juicy but almost sweet acidity making the mouth water while salty, but so well defined tannins coat the mouth giving the structure and support. Lovely finesse and movement from start to finish and an excellent weight too - deep and round but straight and pristine. Feels a bit relaxed, quite elegant and not pushed or too tense at this point. A lovely wine to drink, acidity, fruit purity, fine tannins and a sense of balance and good construction. Still a little constricted on the finish, this will need time, but when it hits its drinking window this will be lovely to drink. Fresh and invigorating but keeping the structure and power."
