Tasting notes
Located right next to Château Pavie, this is a muscular wine that takes its time. Confident, rich texture that is so signature of 2016, with a fairly heavy oak grilling, giving a strong tar, cocoa bean and liqourice accent to the brambled blackberry and black cherry fruits, along with dried roses on the finish. Aged in a mix of 225l and 400l barrels. Consultants Stephane Derenoncourt and Hannah Fiegenschuh.

The 2016 Côte Pavie has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and offers up pure, expressive black cherries, wild blueberries and kirsch scents with touches of menthol, cloves, cedar chest and lilacs. Full-bodied and packed with vibrant, energetic black fruits, it has a firm line of ripe, velvety tannins and bold freshness, finishing very long.
Black cherries, dried earth, graphite, and some savory, rocky mineral notes all emerge from the 2016 Château Saint Georges (Côte Pavie). It's medium to full-bodied, has good concentration, and the classic minerality and limestone character of the terroir front and center. It's going to benefit from short-term cellaring. This estate has a wonderful terroir located between Pavie and Canon la Gaffelière.
