Pauillac sits at the heart of the Médoc and is often seen as the standard-bearer for classic Bordeaux. With deep gravel soils that drain well and reflect heat, this small appellation consistently produces wines of structure, longevity, and distinction.

The reds are typically Cabernet Sauvignon-led, offering intense blackcurrant, cedar, graphite, and tobacco notes, underpinned by firm tannins and fresh acidity. These are wines built to age, gaining elegance and complexity over time without losing their core of power.

Pauillac is home to some of Bordeaux’s most celebrated châteaux, including three of the five First Growths—Lafite Rothschild, Latour, and Mouton Rothschild. But beyond the prestige, the wines remain compelling for their precision, balance, and unmistakable identity.
