The vineyard of Château Pavie is dominated by Merlot, which accounts for approximately 60% of the grape varieties, complemented by Cabernet Franc and a smaller proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. This dominance of Merlot, typical of the great wines of Saint-Émilion, gives the château's wines their velvety texture, their aromatic richness and their remarkable ageing potential. Cabernet Franc, for its part, brings freshness, finesse and an elegant floral complexity that distinguishes Château Pavie from the other grands crus of the Right Bank.
