Tasting notes
Ripe red, blue, and black fruits intermixed with leafy herbs, violets, and graphite all shine in the 2025 Château Saint Georges (Côte Pavie), a hidden little gem from a brilliant terroir just beside Pavie that just screams Saint-Emilion. Based on 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc from clay and limestone soils, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a pure, layered mouthfeel and ultra-fine tannins.

The 2025 Saint Georges (Côte Pavie) is very fine. In fact, the 2025 is one of the finest wines I have tasted here. It marries power with energy to a degree that is quite rare. Blood orange, white pepper and chalk add gorgeous brightness as this Saint-Émilion opens in the glass. Lavender, rose petal, mint, chocolate and blood orange flesh out the layers.
The 2025 Saint-Georges, a blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, reveals a bouquet of licorice, spice and smoke, with a touch of oak. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and long, it’s built around a limestone-driven, straight profile with good density, concluding with a dark fruit–driven finish. This is one of the estate’s strongest efforts in recent years, even if its full potential has yet to emerge.
