Château Pavie is a wine estate in Saint-Emilion whose great wine is 1er Grand Cru Classé A. It now extends over 35 hectares divided between the limestone plateau, the coast and the foot of the coast of the AOP Saint-Emilion. The blend of the great wine is 65% for Merlot, 25% for Cabernet Franc and 10% for Cabernet Sauvignon.
Château Pavie takes its name from the Pavia peach, a variety of red-fleshed peaches that once grew on its land and that the vine replaced in the first millennium. In 1867, the estate was called Pimpinelle and was already renowned, winning a gold medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris. The man who gave it its letters of nobility was Ferdinand Bouffard, a Bordeaux merchant who inherited it and then, from 1873, bought small adjacent properties (Château Pigasse, Chapus, Fayart, Dussaut) and created a complex of nearly 50 hectares. However, it was not until 1919 that Albert Porte, the new owner, sold Pavie-Pigasse, which was to become Château Pavie-Decesse, and brought together the other estates to create Château Pavie.
Alexandre Valette, already the owner of the neighbouring Château Troplong-Mondot, acquired it in 1943. In 1955, Château Pavie became 1er Grand Cru Classé B in the 1955 classification of Saint-Emilion wines. In the modern era, Gérard Perse bought Château Pavie in 1998 and gave it a new lease of life. It became a 1er Grand Cru Classé A in 2012 and the following year was equipped with new cellars renovated by the architect Alberto Pinto.
Château Pavie also produces a second wine, Aromas of Pavia.
