Château Pontet-Canet


Château Pontet-Canet is a large Pauillac estate that can trace its origins back to 1725, when Jean-François Pontet gave his name to the estate he had acquired. The wine was not château-bottled until 1972 and in 1975 the property was sold to Guy Tesseron, of the Tesseron family, one of the finest exponents of luxury, very old, aged Cognacs (Cognac Tesseron).

The Tesserons also own Château Lafon-Rochet in St-Estephe. Today, Château Pontet-Canet is owned and run by Alfred and Michel Tesseron.

Pontet-Canet's 78 hectares of vineyards adjoin those of Mouton Rothschild and are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (63%), Merlot (32%) and Cabernet Franc  (5%).

The Tesserons have vastly improved the quality of the Pontet-Canet wines which are now full-bodied and packed with ripe, chewy, black fruits and finely integrated tannins. The wines posseses marvellous ageing potential.

Pontet-Canet is classified as a 5ème Cru Classé.

It is a heresy severe enough to get you excommunicated, but in our view Pontet-Canet is as good as the First Growths in 2007.

The earlier maturing 2001 provides the opportunity to get a glimpse of what lies in store for the 2004 and 2005. This is a seductively pretty vintage, although not as profound as 2000, but still capturing the aura of a great Pontet, albeit in microcosm

Quite dark crimson. Rather thick and soupy on the nose. With some very slight greenness. Harsh acidity and rugged tannins. Still pretty unsettled. Drying tannins on the finish.

Ch Pontet-Canet is still finding its way along the thorny path of biodynamic viticulture but in 2008 owner Alfred Tesseron was able to make a 100% biodynamic wine. Very attractive, this is full of creamy, blackcurrant fruit with grainy, ripe tannins and generous weight. Layers of fruit swell ... MORE

Why so fresh? Partly organic this year. He thinks that having worked the vineyards, this encouraged the roots to go down deep. Again, deep crimson. Quite full and ripe and rich on the nose - different from the rest. Succulent and juicy with sufficient freshness. Just a very slightly burnt note on ... MORE
