Chateau Pavie was underperforming when Gerard Perse bought the estate and he utterly transformed it in 1998. Once known for mellow soft wine; now they are huge, dense, very oaky and rich wines. This revolution has made waves in the wine world, with critics Robert Parker and Jancis Robinson at odds.
