Pauillac
Pauillac, a prestigious vineyard on the banks of the Gironde.
Located on the left bank of the GirondePauillac is the wine capital of exceptional know-how. Benefiting from a climate that is mild in winter and hot in summer, between rounded plateaus and valleys, the vines of appellation cabernet sauvignon, malbec, petit verdot and merlot mainly, enjoy ideal sunshine. The Cabernet Sauvignon grape is grown on its preferred soils, a mixture of sand and gravel. The wine cellars of Pauillac and its hills are filled with the sweetness of life. A wine made by epicureans is a treasure, a bottled delight.Pauillac, terroir and know-how.
Pauillac has been a French Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée red wine since 1936. Of course, the terroir has been world-renowned for even longer, thanks in particular to the vineyard's three Premiers Grands Crus Classés: Château Lafite-Rothschild, Château Latour and Château Mouton-Rothschild. The 18 Grands Crus Classés de Pauillac in the appellation, according to the 1855 classification, account for 85% of the vineyard's production, and include such benchmarks as Château Pontet-Canet, Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste and Château Lynch-Bages.Pauillac, ruby from the Médoc.
Visit Pauillac wines are rich, dense, deep and sappy. They display great finesse, distinction and delicate bouquets. Their broad aromatic palette evokes black cherry, licorice, crème de cassis, morello cherry, rose, iris, cedar, smoke, incense... Tannins are tight but not hard. This red wine is a long-keeping wine and its dark ruby, almost black color when young, turning to amber as it ages, hides treasures: baskets of ripe red fruit, bouquets of violets, notes of undergrowth and spicy scents. This is a powerful, full-bodied wine with great finesse and delicate aromas. Over time, its tannins become softer, allowing its full bouquet of smoky, spicy aromas to unfold, with floral touches of rose and iris. It can be aged from 5 to 20 years. Ideally served between 15 and 17°, these great Pauillac wines follow a single rule in terms of gastronomic pairing: they must enhance both the dish served and the wine. They are the perfect accompaniment to red meats, particularly entrecôte à la bordelaise, game, leg of lamb and delicate fish.More information on the Pauillac

"One of my favorite wines of the vintage, this is a wonderful example of high-definition winemaking, still offering plenty of Pauillac boldness. The nose is dark and slightly salty, full of black fruits and toasty aromas. The palate is bright and lively, with clarity and precision in the berries, juicy, mouth-watering acidity - there's so much energy in the glass. Chalky, graphite tannins fill the mouth, giving structure and clear terroir markers with a lingering minerality on the finish. Perfectly balanced, with incredible delectability and drinkability. Persistent with a long finish. Superb effort." (Decanter 2023) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected)

"The attack is incredibly greedy, carried by a savory velvety texture. The subtle nose delivers hints of gentian, leather, prune and tobacco. On the palate, integrated tannins form a harmonious whole around a rich, lively texture. Successful balance between density and elegance. Very promising.

"Dark and dense, the wine's color leaves no one indifferent, announcing a serious, deep wine. On the nose, black fruits (blueberry, blackcurrant liqueur) mingle with roasted, spicy and finely mentholated notes. A palette as broad as it is intense, infusing an imposing, full-bodied, powerful, very long palate with tight tannins. A (very) great Pauillac for laying down".

"Fleur de Pédesclaux 2019, aged in 30% new oak, has increased its share of Cabernet Sauvignon since 2009, when it was purely Merlot (and also in organic conversion since 2013). Aromas of raspberry, blackberry, cedar and light tobacco unfold in the glass. The palate is still quite fleshy and round, and slightly spicy, retaining that hint of Chinese spice towards the tender finish. A fine second wine. (Vinous 2021)

"Its magnificent purplish-red color is an invitation to travel. The seductive nose confirms the bewitching scents of candied cherry and cedar. Full attack, then a sapid palate with very fine tannins, citrus fruit, stone and black zan flavors, very racy, concluding with a very long, saline finish. Refined but well-marked character. Long cellaring assured. (Terre de Vins 2020) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

"Right from the start, it exudes impressive depth, with a slightly smoky side and notes of blackberries, blueberries and red plums. But also pretty notes of spicy oak. The medium-bodied palate is very poised and linear, with a long, succulent and regal finish. This is a wine of great finesse and balance, with superb structure."

"A serious, exhilarating nose, with dark colors and notes of black licorice. Simply grandiose. On the palate, a gradual explosion of pure, ripe, silky fruit. The aristocratic palate has a captivating bitterness that gives complexity to this premier cru. This is what distinguishes it from its (excellent) little brother and reminds us why it remains king. A saline, mouth-watering aftertaste. A wine to fall over with pleasure".

"As usual, Lafite Rothschild positions itself with finesse and depth. The tannins are extremely precise, and the wine stands out for its 12.5% alcohol... deep and subtle, it doesn't try to show off and has precise, supportive, fine-grained tannins. You can feel its greatness, this unchanging element, even in wines that are in "hibernation" mode. Every year, it seems to me that Lafite rises above the vintage, following its own path, its own logic. For me, it's one of the greatest successes of the vintage. It doesn't crush anything, it speaks calmly, serenely, clearly. That's its essential strength".

"Pontet Canet 2021 displays an authentic, precise character, well inspired by the terroir! The wine's power and tension are unsuspected, making it lively and salivating. The somewhat creamy tannins don't let themselves be put off or impressed; they take on their task well and create a symbiosis with the acid structure. Harmony is thus assured. A Pontet Canet that stands out through its vigor and terroir, and which never fails to remind us that it can perform regardless of the vintage. That's what a great wine is all about".

"The color is still deep. The wine is already showing some evolution with notes of truffle, oyster shell, blackcurrant, Asian spices, dark red fruit and cherry. This is a Latour of great elegance, purity of fruit and silky texture, with layers of concentrated fruit and a structure that will allow it to age for generations to come."

"Pichon-Baron's 2019 Griffons wine was captivating en primeur. It's just as impressive today. A Pauillac of substance and depth, Les Griffons is super expressive. It offers an exotic blend of black fruits, licorice, smoke and tobacco, with strong Cabernet Sauvignon inflections giving it a savory aromatic presence. The long, lingering finish is exceptionally beautiful. " (Vinous 2022) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected)

A full-bodied wine with incredibly enveloping tannins and a texture reminiscent of the finest velvet. The structure is superb, with great tension and concentration. Flawless. This wine could be the new 1990, or even better. " (James Suckling 2022) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected)

" Corresponds to the definition of a second wine: fruitier, easier to drink. The nose shows beautiful nuances of brambles, black fruits, with lots of Merlot. Beautiful acidity and balance here, the wine is not shrill, but very delicate and refined. It's juicy, with a crushed-stone texture, giving plenty of lively fruit, but with depth and definition. Crushed stones and licorice, but overall easy, approachable, with good balance and flavor. Cool, classic and refreshing. It's not extremely complex or particularly fruity, it's leaner than you'd expect, but it's utterly charming. Very easy to drink. (Decanter 2023)
