Pauillac is the most prestigious commune in the Médoc, home to three of Bordeaux's five First Growth châteaux: Lafite-Rothschild, Latour, and Mouton-Rothschild. Cabernet Sauvignon dominates on deep gravel soils, producing wines of extraordinary structure, concentration, and longevity. The wines of Pauillac are synonymous with classic claret — cedary, blackcurrant-driven, and built for decades of aging.
