Tasting notes

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Pontet-Canet comes charging out of the glass with fantastically expressive notes of black cherry preserves, black raspberries and blackcurrant pastilles plus touches of kirsch, wilted roses, tobacco, camphor and cinnamon stick with a waft of fragrant soil. Full bodied, the palate is laden with black and red fruit layers, supported by very firm, very finely grained tannins and provocative freshness, finishing with incredible length and stunningly perfumed.

About this wine

Château Pontet Canet is a prestigious winery located in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, France. With a rich history dating back to the early 18th century, the estate was classified as a fifth growth in the famous Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. The winery is known for its commitment to biodynamic farming practices, which results in wines of exceptional purity, elegance, and complexity.

The flagship wine of Château Pontet Canet is the Grand Vin, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grapes aged in oak barrels for 16 to 20 months. This wine is known for its deep ruby color, complex aromas of black fruit, spices, and tobacco, and its firm tannins that give it a long and elegant finish. The winery also produces a second wine called Les Hauts de Pontet Canet, which is made from younger vines and is aged for 12 to 16 months in oak barrels. This wine is lighter and more approachable, with aromas of red fruit, spices, and vanilla.

Château Pontet Canet is a world-renowned winery that produces some of the finest wines in Bordeaux. Its commitment to biodynamic farming practices and traditional winemaking techniques has earned it a reputation for excellence and has made it a favorite among wine enthusiasts around the world.
