Pauillac | Local Wine Appellation From Gironde, France | TasteAtlas

Pauillac

Pauillac is a French appellation located in the Médoc wine region of Bordeaux. The area is renowned for great-quality red wines that are primarily based on Cabernet Sauvignon with the addition of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, or Petit Verdot.


The wines are deep ruby red, robust, and dense with bright notes of red and black fruit that develop into aromas of cassis, oak, vanilla, licorice, and leather. Pauillac wines are full-bodied, with firm but elegant tannins that age exceptionally well.


They are a perfect match to grilled beef, as well as other types of roasted or braised meat dishes, and they perfectly complement mushrooms and truffles. The appellation is home to one of the best wineries in the world that include Château Lafite, Château Latour, and Château Mouton-Rothschild.
