CHATEAU PONTET-CANET, 2007

PAUILLAC

« Bottled in July, it is unfair to compare the 2007 to the 2008, although the difference in ripeness is clear. A slightly more herbaceous, earthier bouquet, sharp blackberry, a touch of soy, an attractive floral element...violets. As it did in barrel, this Pontet-Canet nods towards Margaux. Good definition though. The palate is well balanced, slightly grainy tannins on the entry, very good acidity and backbone. This is confirming the promise that it showed in barrel and the finish is developing a lovely blackcurrant and mulberry finish. Exceptional for the vintage. » - Neal Martin

Histoire et anecdotes

Created by Jean-François de Pontet at the beginning of the 18th century, the vineyard was expanded a few decades later with the acquisition of plots in the locality known as Canet. Château Pontet-Canet is renowned for the high quality of its wines, which was confirmed when it was classified as a 5th Growth of Pauillac in 1855. In 1975, Château Pontet-Canet became the property of the Tesseron family, cognac merchants. It was from 1994 that Alfred Tesseron revolutionized vineyard management methods by adopting sustainable farming techniques focused on biodynamics.

Château Pontet-Canet is one of the estates in the Médoc that has had only three families of owners throughout its history.
