Fonbadet farms some of the best addresses in Pauillac: one parcel sits next to Château Latour and Pichon Comtesse, and the larger one, in the north of the appellation, is surrounded by Mouton Rothschild's vineyard. If you want to know what this commune's gravel tastes like without paying for a famous label, this is where we'd send you. The First Growth connections go beyond geography. Pierre Peyronie's great-grandfather was finance director at Lafite Rothschild, and his wife Jany's relative Aurélien Agert managed the estate at Mouton. Today Pascale Peyronie, the fourth generation, runs the property. The house approach is old-school in the best sense. The vines average about fifty years old, and yields are among the lowest in Pauillac. This 2012 has now had more than a decade in bottle, so it's a good chance to see the house style with some age on it.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary; grilled ribeye or entrecôte bordelaise; duck breast with a cherry or red-wine reduction; mushroom and beef bourguignon-style braises; aged Comté or Mimolette.

Tasting Profile

Expect classic Pauillac: blackcurrant and black cherry with tobacco, cedar and a touch of spice, over a firm, Cabernet-led frame. Typically full-bodied and dry, with powerful but velvety tannins and fresh acidity, finishing long and savoury. Built to age, the style softens with time toward leather and earthy notes.
