Pauillac AC Baron Nathaniel

Wine information: Pauillac, in the heart of the Médoc North-East of Bordeaux, is one of the best-known appellations of the Bordeaux region, situated between Saint-Estèphe to the North and Saint-Julien to the south. The vineyard, which lies either side of the town of Pauillac itself, is mostly concentrated along the banks of the river Gironde. Pauillac Baron Nathaniel is made largely with wines from the family's three grands crus classés, though from lots not used in their final selection. The rest consists of carefully selected wines from the Pauillac appellation. Pauillac Baron Nathaniel is made from classic Bordeaux grape varieties - Cabernet Sauvignon (80%) finds its most perfect expression on this soil and in this climate, developing incomparable aromas and tannins that give the wine character and ageing potential; Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot (10%) give the wine its elegance, Merlot (10%) its supple fruit. The wine has an intense, deep red colour. The bouquet is direct, nicely open and well-developed with suggestions of red berry fruit, especially blackcurrant. Forward tannins, well-rounded and mature, give a fine structure with plenty of body and length, prolonged on the finish by clean, elegant oak.
