コレクション: Pauillac
Pauillac is the commune of Lafite, Latour and Mouton — three of the five First Growths in one village. No other appellation in the world has that concentration.
The style. The most structured and longest-lived reds on the Left Bank. Firm blackcurrant fruit with cedar and graphite behind it, and tannins that need years. Pauillac is the serious one: if Margaux is perfume and Saint-Julien is balance, Pauillac is architecture.
What that means in practice. Do not open a young Pauillac casually. Decant ninety minutes minimum, and give it red meat — the tannin needs protein and fat to soften against.
On our list
Château Pontet-Canet (biodynamic, and rated far above its Fifth Growth classification), Lynch-Bages, Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Pichon Baron and Les Griffons, plus second wines including Baron de Milon.
