Château Pavie, Premier Grand Cru Classé winery in Saint-Émilion, France
The Château Pavie estate extends over 37 hectares on a limestone plateau, producing wines primarily from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
The vineyard site dates back to Roman times, and Ferdinand Bouffard consolidated the estate in the late 19th century by acquiring multiple nearby properties.
The estate earned its Premier Grand Cru Classé A classification in 2012, marking its position among the most distinguished wineries of Saint-Émilion.
The winery produces approximately 8000 cases annually, offering both its main wine Château Pavie and a second label called Arômes de Pavie.
The estate's name originates from the peach orchards that once occupied the land, as 'pavies' refers to a specific type of peach in French.

The wine estates of Bordeaux spread across the Gironde department and produce wines under more than 60 appellations. The châteaux combine winemaking traditions with modern cellar techniques. Many properties open their doors to visitors, offering tours of vineyards, fermentation rooms, and barrel cellars. The grand estates of the Médoc, such as Château Margaux, Château Latour, or Château Mouton Rothschild, rank among the most recognized addresses in the region. In Saint-Émilion, châteaux cluster around the medieval village. The Entre-deux-Mers area features numerous smaller family operations. Wine routes traverse landscapes of vine rows and historic buildings. The architecture of the châteaux ranges from medieval fortresses to 18th and 19th-century residences. Some estates have commissioned contemporary cellars from architects like Norman Foster or Jean Nouvel. Tasting rooms allow visitors to sample different vintages and blends. Many domains also organize oenology workshops and receptions in their vineyards.
