Positioned on the west bank of the Gironde, Pauillac is somewhat more elevated than the surrounding area, rising to an impressive peak of nearly 30 meters. With a supreme gravely soil and a forest to the west; sheltering the vines, it offers superior conditions for growing outstanding wines; with the choicest of vintages aging 100 years or longer.
