Château Pavie is a winery in Saint-Émilion in the Bordeaux region of France. It lies on the plateau to the southeast of St Emilion village. In 1954 it was classified in the second rank of the Classification of Saint-Émilion wine, as a Premier Grand Cru Classé (B). However the price of the wine has climbed dramatically since Gérard Perse took it over. He started making alcoholic, fruity wines that have been much lauded by influential critic Robert M. Parker, Jr. and condemned by the likes of Jancis Robinsonn.

In the 4th century, the hillsides of Ausone and Pavie were planted with the first vines to arrive in the region. Château Pavie is set on one of the most famous plots of land in St Emilion

Soils corresponding to the Saint Emilion limestone "plateau", located around 85 meters up from the Dordogne, are composed of clay-limestone soil on top of chalk with marine fossils. Soils corresponding to the "mid-hillside" land 55 meters up from the Dordogne, are composed of a brown clay-limestone soil with a fine texture.

Appellation: Saint-Emilion Grand Cru
Areas under Vine: 32 hectares
Average Annual Production: 6,500 cases per annum
Grape Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon (10%), Merlot (60%), Cabernet Franc (30%)
Ageing: In 100% oak barrels for 18 to 20 months
Top Vintages: 1970, 1990, 1998, 1999, 2004, 2005, 2009
