James Suckling, tasting note published in February 12th 2020

The aromas of this wine are truly astonishing, with a potpourri of spices and dried flowers, as well as redcurrants, sweet plums and even some peaches. The wine is full-bodied, with layers of ripe fruit and ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate overall, but still elegant and pure. Juicy and pure. Like crushed grapes, perfectly ripe. Its length is infinite. A fabulous young red. 35% in amphora and the rest in 50% new oak and 15% one-year-old oak. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. Tasted after 2028, but an absolute pleasure to enjoy now.

Château Pontet-Canet

A direct neighbour of Mouton-Rothschild, Pontet-Canet benefits from a magnificent terroir which has contributed enormously to its reputation. What is striking about this estate is its meteoric rise and the biodynamic approach it has adopted, not without risk, in a region where ‘ecoviticulture’ has not yet become the norm. In the space of ten years, thanks to owner Alfred Tesseron and manager Jaen-Michel Comme, Pontet-Canet has become the most sought-after brand in the Médoc. A model of success that will surely serve as an example! Since 2020, Justine Tesseron, Alfred’s daughter and now at the head of the estate, has been responsible for keeping Pontet-Canet in a class of its own.
