TASTING NOTES: An absolutely amazing wine, from grapes harvested between the end of September and October 17, this blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot has close to 15% natural alcohol. It comes from one of the few biodynamic vineyards in Bordeaux, but you are likely to see many more, given the success that Tesseron seems to be having at all levels, both in his vineyards and in his fermentation/winemaking. An astounding, compelling wine with the classic Pauillac nose more often associated with its cross-street neighbor, Mouton-Rothschild, creme de cassis, there are also some violets and other assorted floral notes. The wine has off-the-charts massiveness and intensity but never comes across as heavy, overbearing or astringent. The freshness, laser-like precision, and full-bodied, massive richness and extract are simply remarkable to behold and experience. It is very easy, to become jaded tasting such great wines from a great vintage, but it is really a privilege to taste something as amazing as this. Unfortunately, it needs a good decade of cellaring, and that’s assuming it doesn’t close down over the next few years. This is a 50- to 75-year wine from one of the half-dozen or so most compulsive and obsessive proprietors in all of Bordeaux. Is there anything that proprietor Alfred Tesseron is not doing right? Talk about an estate that is on top of its game! Pontet-Canet’s 2010 is a more structured, tannic and restrained version of their most recent perfect wine, the 2009. Kudos to Pontet-Canet!

Pauillac

About Pauillac

Pauillac, an illustrious appellation within the Médoc region of Bordeaux, France, stands as a pinnacle of winemaking excellence, renowned for its exceptional red wines. Nestled on the left bank of the Gironde River, Pauillac is a distinguished part of the Haut-Médoc appellation, celebrated for its terroir, classified growths, and the profound influence it exerts on Bordeaux blends.

The terroir of Pauillac is defined by gravelly soils, a consequence of its proximity to the Gironde estuary. These well-drained gravel soils, coupled with ample sunlight reflection, create an optimal environment for grape cultivation. Cabernet Sauvignon, the predominant grape variety, flourishes in this setting, imparting structure, tannins, and complex flavors to the wines. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec also contribute to the rich tapestry of Pauillac blends.

Pauillac is home to several prestigious classified growths, with three of the five first-growth estates in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855: Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Latour, and Château Mouton Rothschild. These iconic estates, alongside others like Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, Château Pichon Baron, Château Lynch-Bages, and Château d'Armailhac, craft wines that define the standards of quality and elegance.

The wines of Pauillac are revered for their power, concentration, and impressive aging potential. Dark fruit flavors, including cassis and blackcurrant, intertwine with nuances of cedar, tobacco, and graphite. Robust tannins provide structure, and the wines develop complexity over time, showcasing the artistry of Bordeaux winemaking.

Pauillac's influence extends beyond its borders, shaping the classic Bordeaux blend and setting benchmarks for winemaking practices. The appellation's reputation as a producer of some of the world's finest and most age-worthy red wines solidifies its status as a sought-after destination for wine enthusiasts and collectors alike. Pauillac stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Bordeaux winemaking and the timeless allure of its terroir.
