    This rich, smoothly textured wine is sophisticated and full of black fruits. A blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, it comes from deep gravel soil in the south of the Médoc. Rich and full, with a mint perfume from the wood aging, the wine should be ready to drink from 2023.
  • 90
    A polished and ripe style, with plum and blackberry puree flavors pumping through, inlaid with singed vanilla and tobacco notes and backed by a solid graphite spine. Drink now through 2029. 10,833 cases made. –JM
  • 90
    Milk chocolate and red fruit on the nose of this mid-weight, supple Haut-Médoc that has just enough tannins to balance the nice, ripe flavors. Lively and easy finish. A blend of 55 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 42 per cent merlot and 3 per cent cabernet franc. Drink or hold.

Château Paloumey is a property located in the Haut-Médoc on the Left Bank of Bordeaux bordering the famous Margaux appellation. The name refers to the palombes (large pigeons) that fly over the vineyards. Heavily impacted by the phylloxera crisis during the 20th century, the estate was in a poor condition and all of vines were pulled up and never replanted. This all changed in 1989 when the dynamic Martine Cazeneuve purchased the property and had a vision to restore it to its former glory. With a dedicated team, they replanted the entire vineyard over the course of 20 years and built a state of the art cellar.

Today, it is 34 hectares (84 acres) in size with parcels next to Château La Lagune and Château Cantermerle (both Classified Growths). In 2015, Pierre Cazeneuve, Martine’s son and a trained enologist, took over the management of the family’s property. After harvest, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks and the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months. Estate grown and bottled. Certified Organic.
