Bordeaux Pauillac appellation vineyard landscape


The geographical area of the"Pauillac" appellation corresponds to the territory of Pauillac and part of the lands of Cissac-Médoc, Saint-Estèphe, Saint-Julien-Beychevelle and Saint-Sauveur. The appellation comprises 18 classified growths, representing 85% of the wines produced in the region. The label indicates this classification. The temperate oceanic climate, the late sunshine, the gravelly, stony and sandy soils of the hilltops and the draining properties of the gently sloping terraces all contribute to the production of high-quality red wines. The 1214 ha of plantations are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon mixed with Merlot, but also Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec. Pauillac' s style is varied. The Lafite-Rothschild, Latour and Mouton-Rothschildpremiers crus each have their own distinctive character, yet are full-bodied, rich and unctuous.AOC Pauillac(appellation d'origine contrôlée) was created in 1936. It comprises 3 of the 5 premier crus classés of 1855 (Lafite-Rothschild, Latour and Mouton-Rothschild). It is distinguished by the complexity of its aromas, delicacy, elegance and finesse. As the tannins become rounder with age, these wines have remarkable ageing potential. These red wines need time to open up and become fine, sumptuous or highly perfumed, while retaining their density and power
