Château Pontet-Canet

Perched on the heights of the Pauillac appellation, Château Pontet-Canet is one of the Médoc's most essential crus. Its founder, Jean-François de Pontet, esquire to the king and governor of the Médoc, acquired it in 1725, and a few years later his heirs bought the neighboring land at Canet: thus was born Château Pontet-Canet.

Le Domaine was awarded the title of Cinquième Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 wine classification officialized for the Paris Universal Exhibition. A decade later, it was acquired by Herman Cruse, a Bordeaux merchant of Danish origin, and underwent a complete renovation.

It wasn't until Guy Tesseron, who already owned Château Lafon-Rochet to Saint-Estèphe, bought it in 1975 that Domaine began to shine again. His son Alfred would reveal the Extraordinary potential of his terroir from 1994 onwards, converting Domaine to biodynamic farming in particular, thanks to the support of his steward and trusted man Jean-Michel Comme.

Description Château Pontet-Canet 2011.

The dress is almost jade black.

On the nose as well as on the palate: an immense palette of small black fruits such as the black cherry from Itxassou in the Basque country, blueberry, jammy blackcurrant cream with fine hints of liquorice, vanilla, violet and wood.

The tannins are finely acidic to pleasure with an exceptional roundness in the mouth, all guarantees of long keeping.

A wine with ageing potential around 2045 but also very good to taste now. The bottles will be kept lying down, protected from light and noise, with a hygrometric degree of about 70%.
