A mature Saint-Émilion from the 2012 vintage — black cherry, tobacco and cedar, silky after a decade in bottle.
Saint-Georges Côte Pavie sits on the Côtes of Saint-Émilion, the limestone slopes on the Right Bank that give Bordeaux its most perfumed, Merlot-led reds. This is a Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend aged in French oak barrels, and the 2012 has had well over a decade to settle.
That age shows in the texture more than anything: the tannins have gone silky, the fruit has turned from bright to deep, and the oak has folded away into cedar and spice. A half bottle of properly mature Bordeaux is one of the more civilised things you can put on a table — enough for two glasses, no leftovers.
Serve with: roast beef, braised lamb, game dishes, charcuterie, aged Gouda, or dark chocolate desserts.

Yes. At this age the wine is in its mature drinking window — softer tannins and more savoury, developed character than a young vintage.
A gentle decant of 20–30 minutes helps, and older bottles can throw a light sediment, so pour carefully.
37.5cl — half a standard bottle, roughly two generous glasses.
