Chateau Saint Georges Cote Pavie 2018 (Ex Chateau arrival time 4 months)
Chateau St Georges
Saint-georges dates back to gallo-roman times when a spacious villa overlooked the vineyards. This would be the domain of the famous latin poet ausone who celebrated bordeaux wine « you show off your wines and rivers ».
In 1602, henry iv sold the estate for 1500 pounds to jean barbot a lawyer at the bordeaux parliament with the title of baron. It was passed down through the family rabar relating weddings and inheritance for more than a century.
In 1772, château saint-georges was constructed by victor louis receiving the request from the last baron of saint-georges, « sieur de bouchereau ». Victor louis also designed the "Grand theatre de bordeaux". The castle was reconstructed in a perfect neo-classic style keeping an harmonious symetry with its louis xvi architecture between the four feodal corners.
In 1891, it was purchased by pétrus desbois who restored the vineyard by grafting the french vines with american roots.

Robert Parker
This comes from the limestone slope between La Gaffelière and Pavie. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Côte Pavie comes skipping out of the glass with bright, cheery scents of warm raspberries, black cherries and ripe blackberries plus hints of red roses, menthol, dark chocolate and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-filling fresh, crunchy fruit with beautifully ripe, finely grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and perfumed. Impressive!

The 2018 Château Saint Georges Côtes Pavie is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc brought up 30% new oak. Coming from an incredible terroir on the Côte Pavie (it's just beside Château Pavie), it reveals a deep ruby/plum hue to go with pretty cassis, camphor, spice, and spring flower-like aromas and flavors. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, it's not a blockbuster, but it has this wonderful, delicate, finesse-driven style that still brings notable concentration, obvious minerality, and an impressive finish. I think the quality is on the uptick, and readers should have this estate on their radar.

A linear and very tight wine, but shows substance and character with very fine tannins that last for minutes.
