Tasting notes

Composed of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the medium to deep garnet-purple coloured 2017 Pontet-Canet gives up beautifully fragrant notes of rosehip tea, lilacs, cinnamon stick, cloves, dried leaves, and underbrush with a core of kirsch, raspberry coulis, warm plums, and red and black currants plus a waft of pencil shavings. Medium-bodied, the palate is refreshing, minerally and wonderfully elegant with a well-played texture of approachable, plush tannins and a long, fragrant finish. Beautiful. Aging took place in 50% new and 15% in second fill barrels and the remaining 35% in amphorae for 16 months, much of the material for which came from the soil at Pontet-Canet!

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.
