Château Pontet-Canet is a Cinquième Grand Cru Classé in Pauillac, but the estate stands out above all for its unique approach. Under the leadership of the Tesseron family, respect for the soil has taken center stage. Biodynamic viticulture, the use of horses in the vineyard, and careful handling of the grapes are all part of this château’s identity.
The vineyards are located on the left bank of Bordeaux, where Cabernet Sauvignon and gravelly soils give the wine its classic structure. Pontet-Canet does not rely exclusively on traditional wooden barrels; concrete amphorae also play a role in the wine’s aging process. In this way, the estate seeks to achieve a pure expression of its terroir.
2022 was uitzonderlijk warm en droog in Bordeaux. De uitdaging bestond erin voldoende frisheid te bewaren naast de hoge rijpheid van de druiven. Pontet-Canet toont in dit jaar een geconcentreerde Pauillac, met rijpe tannines en een uitgesproken fruitkern.
Cassis, zwarte kersen, cacao en grafiet geven een rijk aromatisch beeld. De stevige structuur en frisse spanning bieden ruimte voor verdere ontwikkeling op fles. Met flesrijping kunnen cederhout, tabak en aardse nuances zich verder ontwikkelen. De balans tussen concentratie, zuren en tannines blijft bepalend voor de uiteindelijke complexiteit.
Serve this Pauillac with roasted beef, lamb, or dishes featuring mushrooms. Let the wine breathe in the glass for a while, then decide whether decanting is necessary. Store the bottle in a dark, cool place at a stable temperature. Older bottles may develop sediment; pour carefully in such cases.
Pontet-Canet’s unique approach makes it especially interesting to compare different vintages side by side. The estate demonstrates that tradition and innovation can go hand in hand in Bordeaux.
