Pauillac, a gateway to the world…
Situated on the left bank of the Gironde estuary, around 50 kilometres north of the city of Bordeaux, Pauillac is an appellation in the Médoc and covers around 1,200 hectares. The first traces of vine plantations in Pauillac date back to Antiquity, during the Roman occupation. From the 18th century on, the town of Pauillac underwent rapid development. Its port became the largest wine shipping port in the Médoc. It was an entrance and exit point for all the wine production sector. During the 19th and 20th centuries, Pauillac became a headquarters for heavy industry (blast furnaces and oil refineries) and a gateway to the world, since it was used as a stop-off point for the great ocean liners that crossed the Atlantic to South America.
