GeographyPauillac is on the west bank of the Gironde. St-Julien is to the south. A stream called Ruisseau de Juillac marks part of the boundary between the two communes; other parts are marked by a stone wall and a country lane. To the north, across the Jalle du Breuil, lies St-Estèphe. Pauillac is bounded on the west by the parish of St Sauveur and the Landes forest. All three communes lie within the Haut-Médoc. The town of Pauillac is the largest in the Médoc, with a population of over 5000. Pauillac is somewhat more elevated than the surrounding area, rising to a peak of nearly 30 metres above sea-level in the region of Château Pontet-Canet. The soil is gravelly, as with most of the Haut-Médoc. The forest to the west shelters the vines from the Atlantic winds. Pauillac contains around 1200 hectares of vineyards.[4] WineCabernet Sauvignon is the predominant grape, but it is invariably blended with other grapes. As with all red Bordeaux, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec may also be included in the blend (although wines will not necessarily include all five grapes). Prior to the 19th century, Malbec was predominant.[5]The style has been described as 'stark'.[6] The predominant fruit flavour is usually blackcurrant, sometimes veering into plum. Pencil-shavings and cigar-box are also characteristic notes.[7] Wine from Pauillac may be labelled as Haut-Médoc (usually wine which the château considers inferior to its main offering and wishes to market under a different label).[8] Similarly, second (or third) wines from the grandes châteaux may be labelled simply as Pauillac.[9] Food matchingThe classic match is roast lamb; game can also work well.[10] For very old vintages (pre-1959, but not the exceptional 1945) leg or rack of lamb would be best, or partridge or grouse. Otherwise, shoulder or saddle would be a good choice, or pheasant or hare. Rare rib or rump of beef can also be good.[11] ChâteauxFirst growthsChâteau Latour, Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Mouton RothschildSecond growthsChâteau Pichon-Longueville, Château Pichon-Longueville-LalandeFourth growthChâteau Duhart-MilonFifth growthsChâteau Pontet-Canet, Château Batailley, Château Haut-Batailley, Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Château Grand-Puy-Ducasse, Château Lynch-Bages, Château Lynch-Moussas, Château d'Armailhac, Château Haut-Bages-Libéral, Château Pédesclaux, Château Clerc-Milon, Château Croizet BagesNotable unclassed châteauxChâteau La Couronne, Château Pibran, Château Haut-Bages-Averous, Château Haut-Bages Monpelou, Château Fonbadet Notes1. ^Rowe, pp249-250 2. ^Johnson(1994), p88 3. ^Rowe, p250; Johnson(1994), p88; Clarke, p48 4. ^Johnson(1994), pp82-89; Clarke pp48-49 5. ^Johnson(1994), p88 6. ^Clarke, p48 7. ^Clarke, p49; Johnson(1994), pp88-89 8. ^Clarke, p51 9. ^Johnson(1994), p88 10. ^Clarke, p49 11. ^Johnson(2009), pp30-31; Clarke, p49 References
