Legendary appellation home to three first growth estates.
The wine
Pauillac is home to three of the Médoc's five First Growths: Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Latour and Château Mouton Rothschild. Deep gravel soils inherited from glaciations offer ideal drainage and heat reflection for cabernet sauvignon, the dominant grape. The reds are powerful and structured, with a noble tannic grain that develops a complex bouquet of blackcurrant, cedar, graphite and pipe tobacco with age. Top cuvées easily exceed thirty years in cellar. Ideal with roast lamb, rib of beef, furred game and aged hard cheeses such as old Comté.
