For Mr. P,
My name is Marie Harris Tousley, gr grandaughter of Hattibelle Chanault Pavey, state of Va, USA. I have been looking for any info on this winery for years. Finally discovered you on the website. To visit this winery, I will have to do it by next year, as I am 81 already!!!! The wine must be exquisite, if it matches the price here. I want so much to taste it..............The Paveys here immigrated with the Hugenots many many years ago..................and I am going to try to get to St. Emilion one day. I am living in Hershey, Pa, 81 Cambridge Drive, 17033 and email tousmarie@aol.com. As a military wife for almost 30 years and two tours to Europe.................I have been to Paris, etc but had little knowledge of the winery!!!! Bless you for this article. Bestest, Marie Tousley

What struck me most about your excellent article was the common denominator of very successful people.As Mr. Perse walks among his grapes, and thinks about ,and does right by them, he is ultimately rewarded.He is living with his grapes and loving them, not in an office asking questions about and getting information about his ultra-successful vineyard.A perfect example of loving what you do,living it,improving it and doing a better job than the competition.I hope one day to visit.It looks to be a bright spot on the planet.

I"ve always weroendd about aging wine. I typically don"t have it around that long (longer than 17 minutes though!). The tip about wines that cost less than $10 is great! Also, I love the idea of drinking a bottle of your favorite once every 6 months to determine when it tastes best. You rock, Betty!

What an experience!

I am a big fan of Pavie and collect all the recent vintages of Pavie (99-05).

Wish could visit Pavie this June and check out its cellar tasting Pavie there with Perse.

Appreciate if you"d like to share more details of Pavie visit with me. Skype: leovino3716

Thanks, Great Efforts sharing these with us,

Thank you very much for your interesting and very detailed postings. I am a university student and I am doing a presentation about "Chateau Pavie". Great thanks for your kind sharing!

I love this posting, Francois! The photos are incredible. You were so lucky to get an interview with G�rard Perse too. What a coup. Thanks for sending it my way.

Paul, thanks for the visit and do plan a trip to St Emilion if you can, they have no less than 3 airports around Bordeaux and you can hire a car for the 30 minutes drive to St Emilion. Safer to stay the night to sleep the local product off!

Peter, thanks for visiting! I almost missed the gallows bit and had to pay my respects with some gallows humor. I hope they don"t hang people like Mr Perse, they do a lot to rejuvenate the wine industry and I am proud to have met him.

Psychgrad, you will have fun in St Emilion. I am no expert on wines and cannot recommend you much by way of affordable great wines. The wine merchants with the shops in the village seem really knowledgeable and don"t try to push expensive bottles, quite surprisingly. Give them a try!

Paul, indeed Pavie"s prices place it above most pockets, but tonight I stumbled upon a friend who told me he bought a whole case of Pavie right after Perse bought it. A good buy, as they say!

Dear M Fx,

Terrific article! It is great to see the auslander showing the French how to turn the wines of their grandfathers into the wines of tomorrow. Your piece does a really nice job of explaining some of the key innovations that M Perce has implemented.

Very nice. It is great to know the vintner, the process of an exceptional wine. Thank you for this, the great pics and for providing a bit of history of the area (the gallows) HA!

I will be in St. Emilion later this month. So the timing on this post works great for me. I must admit, I am little bit intimidated by all of the information. Hopefully after spending some time touring wineries, everything will be much clearer.

Do you have any recommendations for wines that aren"t $500/bottle?

Very interesting. Will be on the lookout for Pavie on my travels. Only to shoplift though...
