    The Wine That Seduced Château Pavie

    The Wine That Seduced Château Pavie

    How often do you get to open perfectly cellared, magnificently aged, 11-year-old Right Bank Bordeaux? At $37.99, this is without a doubt one of the best values we’ve tasted this year. Why? The 2006 Château Clos l’Eglise Côtes de Castillon is one of the last vintages of the wine before Gerard Perse added this property to the 100-point-scoring Saint-Émilion 1er Classé “A” Château Pavie stable. Translation: the price tag on current releases of Clos L’Eglise is sure to soar. A single bottle of Gerard’s profound Pavie will run you $325. Or — for roughly the same price — you could lock into nine bottles of this perfect provenance, beautifully aged Right Bank stunner. Our first allocation disappeared in a flash in July. We have another 25 cases up for grabs at just $37.99 per bottle.   

    The vineyards of Côtes de Castillon lie east of St.-Émilion, amid steep-sloped hills and valleys created by the Garonne and Dordogne rivers. The vines of Castillon face south or southeast and have excellent exposure to the sun. Like Saint-Émilion, the soil is clay and limestone on the hilltops, sandy gravel at the base of the slopes and clay and silt in the valleys.

    The only real difference is price: Top Saint-Émilion and Pomerol can fetch $1,000 per bottle while Côtes de Castillon can always be had for much less. Add in the fact that you have a cellar-aged beauty direct from château, fostered by a visionary that spares no expense like Gerard Perse, and you have one of the most explosive values of the year.
