Over het wijnhuis | Château Pontet-Canet is één van de meest geliefde wijnhuizen van de Médoc. Sinds de familie Tesseron - bekend van de luxe Tesseron Cognac - het overnam schoot de populariteit omhoog. Château Pontet-Canet is een 5e Grand Cru Classé in Pauillac, maar volgens velen kan het zich meten met de top. Niet verwonderlijk, want Alfred Tesseron zet alles op alles om de kwaliteit naar een hoger niveau te tillen. |

Awards | "The concentration of dried herbs such as thyme, sage and mint with blackcurrants and Spanish cedar is mesmerizing. Full-bodied with a dense and intense palate, this has creamy, crunchy tannins and a long and flavorful finish that goes on for minutes. Punchy and rich with lots of power. The real identity of Pontet-Canet comes through despite the hot and dry growing year. 57% cabernet sauvignon, 35% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 4% petit verdot. From biodynamically grown grapes. Best after 2029." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. In a new bottle 400 g lighter than the old one. Lightly inky-textured on the palate. Again, very smooth tannins but no shortage of them! Ripe fruit and persistent. (JR)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2022 Pontet-Canet is a super-refined wine from the Tesseron family. It is perhaps a touch less opulent than in years past, but in exchange, it boasts more energy, focus and cut, all qualities that are so welcome here. Bright red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, mint and mocha all build effortlessly in the glass. In 2022, Pontet Canet is shaping up to be an absolute gem." - Vinous "Alluring and smoldering, with dark violet, iris and anise notes infusing the core of plum sauce and dark currant preserves. A bolt of cast iron runs underneath, and there's a late tug of freshly tilled humus on the finish, all while the fruit keeps the upper hand. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2028 through 2042." - Wine Spectator "Dark and ripe on the nose, with deep blackcurrant, cocoa powder, and espresso notes alongside fragrant dried herbs, adding a savoury elegance. The palate is clean and crisp, offering a streamlined weight and a lovely bite to the tannins — powdery yet refined, with hints of milk chocolate and bitter orange. Restrained power meets finesse, with a touch of spice and soft warmth on the finish. Still youthful and compact, but incredibly detailed, with pure, bright fruit shining through. One of the finest Pontet-Canets in years - round, complete, and beautifully textured. Bright, finessed, and highly accessible." - Decanter |
