2014 vintage. This seems to be a commercial brand, registered by the Peyronie family (Château Fonbadet). The INAO tried to forbid it, but Peyronie won in appeal, and they can continue to use the brands Château Pauillac and Château Haut-Pauillac. I have no idea if the wines under these labels are produced from grapes in the Fonbadet vineyards, if they are second wines, etc. However, this is a nice, fully mature old-school Pauillac that I found in a supermarket for a ridiculously low price.

Incredible. Lead pencil graphite, beautifully flowing dark fruit flavors and a grippy but soothing finish. ….this was the first day. The second day leftover was less. The fruit flavor nuances had disappeared and the earthy tannin took over and made it less balanced. Still good though. — 8 months ago
