Five half-cases of 2009 Chateau Pavie, a vineyard promoted in last year’s classification of Saint-Emilion wines, sold for the equivalent of 2,742 pounds ($4,260) a case this week on Liv-ex, a record for the vintage.
Pavie prices have risen since its elevation to the ranks of the top four Bordeaux 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.
