Pauillac, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2014 vintage. This seems to be a commercial brand, registered by the Peyronie family (Château Fonbadet). The INAO tried to forbid it, but Peyronie won in appeal, and they can continue to use the brands Château Pauillac and Château Haut-Pauillac. I have no idea if the wines under these labels are produced from grapes in the Fonbadet vineyards, if they are second wines, etc. However, this is a nice, fully mature old-school Pauillac that I found in a supermarket for a ridiculously low price. Abv. 13%.

Mar 3rd, 2025Medium bodied, elegant with good length, blackcurrent and hardly there tannin that still manages to make its presence felt. A little to easy-drinking and turned a bit juby toward the end. 30€.

Dark ruby color. Bordeaux Blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 3% Petite Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Aromas and flavors of dark fruit, cocoa, purple flowers and intense fresh herbs. Pallet finishes with hints of tobacco, vanilla and coffee. Oak is persistent on the medium finish. Good quality for the price. Thank You Ron B.
