CHÂTEAU SAINT-GEORGES CÔTE PAVIE: A TRUE NUGGET!

The Château Saint-Georges Côte Pavie estate is a place steeped in history. Large Gallo-Roman villa in the 3rd century transformed into a church consecrated to Saint-Georges in 1110, then into a barony under Henri IV and finally into a wine estate … The magnificent Château Saint-Georges Côte Pavie will have had many lives before being bought in 1873 by Jules Charoulet, wine merchant. Its 5 hectare vineyard extends over the famous Pavie hillside, at the southern exit of Saint-Émilion, on an exceptional terroir already exploited by the Romans. Today Jacques Masson, great-grandson of Jules Charoulet, manages the property, accompanied by his cellar master, Frédéric Castera.

Description

THE 2017 VINTAGE AT CHÂTEAU SAINT-GEORGES CÔTE PAVIE

As in all of Bordeaux, the 2017 vintage is the happy ending of a complex year at Château Saint-Georges Côte Pavie. The mild winter, the rainy spring and finally the very hot and dry summer kept Jacques Masson, Frédéric Castera and winemaker Thomas Duclos on their guard. But the 2017 vintage is a real success! The wine is a delight, of great elegance, and rivals the greatest Châteaux of Saint-Émilion.
