PAUILLAC · LEFT BANK


Pauillac is the aristocrat of the Médoc boasting 75% of the Médoc's first growths and with grand cru classés representing 84% of Pauillac's production For a small town, surrounded by so many familiar and regal names, Pauillac imparts a slightly seedy impression. There are no grand hotels or restaurants, with the honourable exception of the establishments owned by Jean-Michel Cazes, there is a small port and yacht harbour and a dominant petrochemical plant. But outside the town, there is arguably the greatest concentration of fabulous vineyards throughout all Bordeaux, including three of the five First Growths. Bordering St Estèphe to the north and St Julien to the south, Pauillac has fine, deep gravel soils with important iron and marl deposits, and a subtle, softly rolling landscape, cut by a series of small streams running to the Gironde. The vineyards are located on two gravel-rich plateaux, one to the northwest of the town of Pauillac and the other to the southest, with the vines reaching a greater depth than found anywhere else in the Médoc. Pauillac's first growths each have their own unique characteristics; Lafite Rothschild, tucked in the northern part of Pauillac on the St Estèphe border, produces Pauillac's most aromatically complex and subtly-flavoured wine. Mouton Rothschild's vineyards lie on a on a well-drained gravel ridge and with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon can produce (in its best years) Pauillac's most decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine. Latour, arguably Bordeaux's most consistent first growth, is located in southern Pauillac next to St Julien. Its soil is gravel rich with superb drainage and Latour's vines penetrate as far as 5 metres into the soil. It produces arguably the most long-lived wines of the Médoc.

This is a great showing for an ambitious estate in Pauillac, that's undergone significant investment, and is owned by the same proprietors of Château Meyney in St-Estèphe. This vintage at Grand-Puy-Ducasse is fresh on the nose, with spicy, savoury aromas around a core of pure, fresh blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. Good concentration but refreshing and gourmand in style. There's also good balance with the more savoury style of the tannins, mineral graphite quality and well-proportioned freshness. The finish builds and is clean, long, with balanced black fruit freshness and mineral hints.

Saturated inky colour, with intense ruby reflections. This is a classically constructed Lafite, with clear power to the tannins and intense spice, a little more upfront and concentrated than you find in many En Primeur vintages at this property but it exemplifies balance and confidence. Fully in control, delivering estate signature with finesse and understatement, with pulses of graphite, slate, bitter almond and cocoa bean. Takes its time to uncurl in the glass, leaving you plenty of time to admire its architecture. Give it a good decade at least.

At Lafite, we hesitated for a long time over the best moment to start picking. We took the plunge on September 19th with our finest Merlots. Then came a rainy spell of a few days that was beneficial, lowering the degrees and bringing our Cabernets Sauvignons to perfect ripeness. The first tastings, after running the wines off skins, left us amazed: the wines are pure, with a very precise ripe style. A modern Lafite classic is already in the making. At blending, some nice surprises from our vines from "outsider" plots, which this year have produced pure and elegant wines that were just ahead of some of the regulars in the blend for the Grand Vin. This is particularly the case for Merlot, with some plots of this variety planted on clayey gravel that surpassed our usual great Merlots thanks to their liveliness.

91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot.
Very dark colour, with purple glints, indicating that the wine is still very much in its youth. The nose is still quite closed, which is to be expected after only a few months in the bottle. But it already presents good depth and plenty of complexity. Notes of fresh strawberries and tobacco, in which the wood has become perfectly integrated. The attack is simultaneously supple and very powerful. The intensity on the palate rises steadily… gently coming to rest on a plateau that is already very high. Not at all aggressive, it continues with great length, and in perfect harmony. This is a Lafite that is currently revealing very little of its potential; to experience it in its full glory will require waiting… for some years.

Intense violet hue. A plethora of black fruits on the nose such as pure cassis, damson and crunchy black cherry. A touch of cedarwood, smoke and tobacco complete this highly complex wine. Whilst very charming and supple, it has a fine tannic backbone and a sappy freshness. The finale is very harmonious and long.
