Château Paloumey Wines

Sort By:

Château Paloumey 2009 Red (Haut-Médoc)

Price $22

With a blend that is half Cabernet Sauvignon, half Merlot, this is as rich as the year. The weight of fruit is borne by sweet tannins and layers of wood toast. There is a very dense dusty texture along with fine acidity and final blackberry fruit. It is for aging over the next 4–5 years. — R.V. (2/1/2012)

Château Paloumey 2008 Red (Haut-Médoc)

Price $25

Paloumey is in the southern Médoc, close to Margaux. This brings out a perfumed character that sits well with the fresh black currant fruit and gentle tannins. There is a great juicy quality that develops as the wine opens. — R.V. (12/31/2010)

Château Paloumey 2007 Red (Haut-Médoc)

Editors' Choice

Price $20

Price $28
