Paulliac 2011 - Paulliac

£20.49

Signature Pauillac, a great representative of the region. Sophisticated and subtle with deep flavours of cassis (blackcurrant liqueur), black cherry and ripe raspberry. Notes of cedar, liquorice and spice. Complex, well layered and satiny smooth.

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. 13% abv. 75cl.

Wow!This is a truly classy wine and simply not to be missed.For me, it's about as good as it gets.From the first sip I knew I was going to have trouble with this one - when it's this good how can you bring yourself to drink the last bottle? There's always going to be someone else you want to share it with - so I'll be buying more soon...........

Description

Selected as a beautiful example of the wines from Pauillac, this wine is named 'Pauillac' after the appellation it represents. It hails from a top class vineyard on prime terroir in the south of Pauillac, between the First Growth Chateaux Latour, Pichon-Longueville and Lynch Bages.

Pauillac has been hailed as a legendary appellation as it is home to no less than 3 First Growth Chateaux (Premier Crus) out of the 5 in Bordeaux as well as having 15 Grand Crus Classés within its boundaries. Often described as elegant and polished, Pauillac's wines are amongst Bordeaux's most elite.

An insider's choice, Pauillac is a classic wine made to an exceptionally high standard. It bears the coat of arms of Pauillac on its label. The sailing ship represents the ancient harbour and the name Pauillacus underneath on the banner represents the Roman nobleman who gave his name to the town.

Pauillac pairs beautifully with pink lamb, moist roast pork, duck and veal. It's also great with gamey tasting fowl such as goose, quail and pigeon.
