    Pontet Canet s'affiche avec la subtilité et le sens du détail qu'on lui connait, mais avec plus de pertinence encore ! Le bouquet annonce de la profondeur, avant même que l'on ait porté le vin à ses lèvres. Invitantes nuances florales et minérales avec un éclat fruité enthousiasmant ! Légèrement crémeux, le vin convainc par son cheminement soyeux pour ensuite céder la place à des tannins puissants, sereins et se positionnant avec exactitude tout en conférant de la vigueur d'une main de maître, avec cette notion de force tranquille, cette puissance menée par la finesse. La finale ne manque pas de souligner la tension et la fraîcheur présentes au travers d'une touche salivante et saline. Un vin précis, détaillé, puissant et persistant. Il faudra savoir l'attendre… c'est un choix crucial. La famille Tesseron et les équipes ont fait le choix d'attendre la pluie avant de cueillir le Cabernet Sauvignon. Et bien leur en a pris. Maintenant c'est à nous d'attendre avant de toucher le graal. Buvons les 2009 et les 2011 (brillants) entretemps !

    A very structured Pontet-Canet that expands in the mouth with a gorgeous combination of beautifully ripe fruit and intense tannins. Very structured for the vintage. Full-bodied with excellent presence and length. So much raw pencil shavings to the blackcurrants. Graphite and tar. Fresh and vivid. They picked cabernet at the right time at the end of September. 52% cabernet sauvignon, 39% merlot, 6% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot.

    With the 2023 vintage, this estate has crafted a wine of unprecedented aromatic intensity and precision that marks a significant evolution. Revealing an elegant, fresh bouquet of mulberries and cassis mingled with notions of violets, gentian and menthol, the 2023 Pontet-Canet is medium to full-bodied, seamless and multidimensional, with a pure and precise core of fruit that's framed by ultra-refined tannins and a powerful but controlled profile, concluding with long, mineral, licorice-inflected finish. It's the result of more daring harvest decisions than in previous years: By picking the Merlot earlier to highlight fresh, fruity notes rather than baked, sun-kissed flavors and simultaneously delaying the Cabernet Sauvignon harvest until after September 28 to refine tannins, the 2023 Pontet-Canet marks a significant evolution at this renowned estate. At this early stage, its élevage appears to be more discreet, too. This wine, which I'd be delighted to own, is a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, matured in 50% new oak barrels, 35% amphorae and 15% once-used barrels.

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.
