Pauillac

Pauillac is a wine growing commune and AOC within Haut-Médoc in Bordeaux, centred on the small town of Pauillac.

The wines of Pauillac are often considered the quintessence of Bordeaux wines and includes 3 of the 5 premier cru châteaux of Bordeaux: Latour, Lafite Rothschild and Mouton Rothschild. 

Each have their own unique characteristics: Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while Mouton Rothschild produces a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.

Powerful in their youth, the present aromas of red fruit or flowers (blackcurrant, rapberry, violets, roses, irises), which, in time melt into a delicate bouquet.
