Haut-Médoc (Oh May-dawk) - Major subdivision of the Médoc region of Bordeaux, and source of many of its greatest red wines.
The Haut-Médoc
This appellation is a very different animal altogether in comparison to the Médoc.
Pauillac in the Haut-Médoc defines Bordeaux and is considered the best appellation in the region. In fact, of the five First Growths, three of them are Pauillac.
The first important commune located to the north of Haut-Médoc is St-Estèphe. Wines produced in this place are characterized by full body, evident tannins and require long period of aging before reaching full maturity.
