About Pauillac and Haut-Medoc:
Haut-Medoc is the large southern section of the greater Medoc district of Bordeaux in south-western France and also the name of the appellation that covers the vineyards here. It accounts for two-thirds of the Medoc peninsula and produces more fine wine per acre than almost anywhere else in the world.
The Haut-Medoc is home to the ‘famous four’ Bordeaux appellations of Margaux, Pauillac, Saint-Estephe and Saint-Julien, as well as the lesser-regarded Listrac and Moulis. They account for the majority of the wines produced here.
Pauillac, a village located between Saint-Estephe and Saint-Julien on Bordeaux’s Medoc peninsula, is home to some of the world’s most famous and expensive wines (most obviously those of the first growths Chateaux Latour, Lafite Rothschild and Mouton Rothschild). The village has its own appellation specifically for red wines made predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon – a variety well suited to the free-draining gravel soils found all around Pauillac.
The stellar reputation of Pauillac wines is founded not only on their quality, but on their success in international fine wine markets. Three of the top five chateaux in the 1855 Medoc Classification (a ranking of Bordeaux’s best wine-producing properties) are located here.
