2023 Château Pontet-Canet, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 52% Cabernet Sauvignon; 39% Merlot; 6% Cabernet Franc; 3% Petit Verdot.

The wine is luminous and full of verve. The Cabernet Sauvignon’s vivid blue fruit shines brightly and the Merlot is succulent and complex. Owner Alfred Tesseron felt that this was an easy vintage. Despite the estate’s biodynamic status, the mildew didn’t really cause any problems. At 34 days’ duration and lasting until 10th October, this was Alfred’s longest ever harvest. This is confident and assured, with generosity and depth. It seems to have an open weave while also being compact and without even a hint of the slightly hedonistic character that can sometimes appear. This will be offered in a lighter 490g bottle (usually 815g), saving 30 tonnes of CO2.

About this wine

Pauillac

Pauillac

The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
