Pauillac
Pauillac AOC appellation is located in the famous Médoc region, near Bordeaux, to be precise on the left bank of the Gironde. Thanks to the extraordinary soil and climatic conditions of its terroir, Pauillac AOC can boast of hosting three of the five Premier Grand Cru classé de 1855: Lafite Rothschild, Latour and Mouton Rothschild. 85% of the wine production of the Pauillac AOC appellation comes from grapes grown in 18 Cru Classé.
The most common grape varieties are cabernet-sauvignon, which in this area is expressed on absolute levels, merlot and, to a lesser extent, petit verdot and malbec. Pauillac wines are rich, ample, complex and elegant with an ageing potential of about 20/25 years. They are among the most famous and appreciated red wines in the world.
