| Description: | James Suckling : 98 Points "So much floral and dark-fruit character with almonds and walnut shell. Full body and ultra-fine tannins. Powerful. Classic style with a harmony and energy. Goes on for minutes. A superb wine! Real Bordeaux.". Antonio Galloni, Vinous : 97+ Points Proprietor "Alfred Tesseron and winemaker Jean-Michel Comme produced an absolutely stellar Pontet-Canet in 2015. Sumptuous, racy and totally inviting, the 2015 is all class. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, spice and exotic floral notes build as the 2015 shows off its alluring personality. Even with all of its raciness, the 2015 speaks with authority and power. Fine tannins extend the persistent, highly nuanced finish. The 2015 is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot aged 50% new oak, 4% in terra cotta and 15% in neutral oak.". A Fifth Growth, Château Pontet-Canet was one of only 58 Bordeaux wineries to be included in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. Winery notes : The Pontet-Canet vineyard, located in the commune of Pauillac, covers 81 hectares (200 acres). It is made up of around one hundred plots and 800,000 vines looking out over the Gironde estuary. At the heart of the Pontet-Canet terroir known as the "plateau", a gentle broad outcrop of Garonne gravel soil dating from the Günz era that sits on a bedrock of limestone.". Biodynamic : "At the end of the day, the biodynamic approach has brought a new dimension to our wines. It has given them greater depth while producing more precise and silky tannins. The length of flavor on the palate has gained in minerality. Our wines are purer and more vibrant." |
