Fifth Growth
2023 James Suckling TOP 100 #69
While Justine Tesseron declined my request to taste at the property, I was able to acquire a bottle of the 2020 Pontet-Canet for review. The wine starts.
97 points Decanter Dark chocolate, bramble tones, not overly floral or fruity with some cedar and cinnamon notes. Lovely high acidity straight away, forward,.
Today, it is Guy Tesseron's descendants who own the estate today: Alfred and his nieces Mélanie and Philippine, daughters of his late brother.
