Wine Advocate, 97 Points
"The 2007 Les Pavots, a Bordeaux varietal blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot, is brilliant. Its opaque purple color is accompanied by gorgeously complex aromas of melted chocolate, espresso roast, blackberries, and cassis. Full-bodied with a superb texture, a subtle note of oak, and fabulous concentration, it is more reminiscent of a Right Bank Bordeaux than one expects with this much Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. A thirty-year wine, its impeccable balance and the sweetness of its tannins make it accessible already."
Decanter, 96 Points
"Notes of black cherry, cassis, mocha, black truffle and subtle top-notes of grilled meats and espresso. The dense, powerful palate has considerable amplitude and tannic richness, enrobed in a deep core of ripe fruit. This does a good job of integrating its power and alcohol, and while considerably larger-scaled, it does nod to Bordeaux in its savoury complexity – in particular modern vintages of Léoville-Poyferré crafted by Didier Cuvellier."
