Colour

Deep and intense.

Nose

Refined with complex aromas of ripe black fruits and toasted and vanilla notes.

Palate

Delicious and rich, the attack is full and its structure elegant and fine.

Wine-growing terroir

The lands of Château Pontet-Canet are located in the heart of the Pauillac appellation. Here it is the poverty of the earth which serves as a matrix. The soil seems to consist only of gravel and sand, and it is difficult to imagine that vines could grow there. The 120 ha of the vineyard are made up of a ridge of Garonne gravel, on a limestone base. These plots are managed biodynamically.

Winemaking

Vinification for 4 weeks, aging for 16 to 20 months in barrels, 60% of which is new wood.

Bottle closure

Cork

Packaging

Wooden box

Château Pontet-Canet

The story began in 1705, when Jean-François de Pontet acquired some land north of the village of Pauillac for the creation of a vineyard. Today, the Tesseron family pampers the estate with an area of 120 ha and thrives on the shared state of mind, the particular sensitivity as well as the desire for sustainability of the estate.
