A case of 2009 Chateau Pavie, a Bordeaux vineyard promoted in last year’s classification of Saint-Emilion wines, sold for a record 2,710 pounds ($4,100) this week on Liv-ex, more than 20 percent above its level of a year ago.
Pavie prices have risen since its promotion to the ranks of the top four growers in Saint-Emilion last September. It now rates as a Premier Grand Cru Classe A alongside Chateau Cheval Blanc, Chateau Ausone and Chateau Angelus in the classification, which replaced one dating from 1996.
