1997 Château Pavie

Description

The 1997 vintage in Bordeaux is often noted for its charm and early accessibility. While it wasn't a "powerhouse" year like 1990 or 1998, it produced wines of great elegance and silky textures. At nearly 30 years old, this bottle is fully mature and showcases the traditional finesse of Saint-Émilion.
